Put something on the line. There are all kinds of titles in wrestling and some of them are rather prestigious. Fans have seen and heard of these titles for decades and some of them have been held by some of the biggest names in wrestling history. Every title has to come from somewhere though, and now another one is coming into existence, with a bit of a unique twist.
The All Atlantic Title was announced this week on AEW Dynamite. The title represents the countries where AEW television airs, with a tournament to crown the inaugural champion consisting of international stars being announced. The first champion will be crowned at Forbidden Door in a four way match. Here are the brackets, including two wrestlers who will be announced later:
Buddy Matthews
Pac
Ethan Page
Miro
Penta Obscuro
Malakai Black
New Japan Wrestler
New Japan Wrestler
Opinion: I’m not sure how much AEW needs another title but that is what they are getting no matter what. The tournament itself is barely a tournament, with five matches in total, but having another midcard title running around doesn’t exactly have me interested. At least the field looks good though and we could be in for some rather solid matches on the road to the new champ.
What do you think of the title? Who wins the inaugural championship? Let us know in the comments below.
