AEW Officially Introduces Women’s World Tag Team Championships

After years of fan speculation and demand, All Elite Wrestling is officially expanding its women’s division with the introduction of the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships. The historic announcement was made by AEW President Tony Khan during the September 24 episode of AEW Dynamite, which took place from the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. The creation of these new championships is a significant move for the company, providing a new goal for its deep roster of female talent and opening the door for new storylines and alliances within the division. The announcement comes after Khan had previously intimated that injuries to the women’s roster were holding up plans for the titles, but it appears those issues have been resolved, and the time is now right to introduce the new gold.

The announcement came in an on-screen video segment from Tony Khan. He declared that after years of building the division, it was finally time to introduce the new championships. He also confirmed that a tournament will be held to crown the first-ever AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions “soon” in 2025, with further details on the teams and the tournament structure to be announced.

Immediately following Khan’s video, the broadcast cut to Renee Paquette live in the arena, who was standing beside a podium. Paquette then unveiled the brand-new championship belts for the first time to the live Philadelphia crowd. The design of the new championships reportedly follows the visual style of the men’s AEW World Tag Team Championships.

This move to introduce women’s tag team gold signals AEW’s intention to strengthen the depth of its female roster and provide more opportunities for its talented performers. The new titles will be the eighth championship in AEW, joining the men’s & women’s World championships, the men’s Tag Team championships, the Trios championships, the Unified championship, and the TBS and TNT championships. AEW now joins WWE and TNA Wrestling, both of which also have their own versions of women’s tag team titles.
