Tony Khan provides update on AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships

Tony Khan says he has created title belts for the AEW women’s tag team division.

Khan stated at the All In post-event press conference that his plans to introduce the titles were delayed due to injuries, something he had referred to as a “goal of his” back in May. During an appearance on Wrestfriends with Iridian Fierro, Khan confirmed that the actual belts have already been made.

“I have the belts. I made the belts. They exist.” Khan said. “But I will put them into play when we are able to put the very best roster forward.”

Moments before confirming the titles have been made, Khan addressed the injuries that have prevented them from being introduced, specifically mentioning wrestlers getting hurt in the Casino Gauntlet match at All In.

“I have a bunch of people I would like to get involved in a women’s tag team tournament potentially. There has been so much injury in the women’s division and as the person who put together the women’s casino gauntlet, I wish that we had come out of it healthier. A quarter of the people in the match got knocked out of the match and out of action indefinitely.”

He mentioned fans being excited for Syuri’s debut in the match, who revealed days later she required elbow surgery. Khan also mentioned injuries to Mina Shirakawa and Thunder Rosa.

“One of the most important women in the division is Jamie Hayter, who also has been out,” he added.

“I do want to get the division healthy because if I tried to do it right now, I would be missing a lot of the people and I could do the tournament, but then I wouldn’t be able to have a healthy singles division at the same time,” he continued.
