It has been won by a ladder, by a team of three elementary school girls, Vince McMahon's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and belt has even won itself on multiple occasions. The title has changed hands in a dream

AEW was openly founded as a $100 million dollar flight of fancy for Shad Khan's son to so Shad could get to see him enjoy some of his inheritance while he is still alive, which is actually money stolen from the time clocks of Flex n Gate shift workers but nobody, not even Moral Strongmen like CM Punk give a poo poo about that. its allegedly profitable if you entirely remove a ~$10m retro aka low poly ugly aki-style video game they are developing entirely with the oversight of inexperienced wrestling people. Its hard to believe, but they are taking in money from TBS/TNT and run old school ppv with excellent buyrates for 2020, but at least half of that ppv money they never see a dime of. They have some merch. But their roster costs are believed to be enormous., and the "we break even if... " announcement was made before some big hires debuted.

From a dispassionate perspective its being run for a rich kids amusement and he hasn't show much acumen outside of leveraging an NFL connection into paid major cable TV time and then locking down the young bucks to long term contracts because their personal fan base will follow them anywhere, any time, forever, and pay up handsomely out of their collective weed dealer incomes to do it.

Outside of that he's been a liability magnet that I'm genuinely shocked he hasnt been wrung out of what remains of the $100m startup funding for lots of potential issues like lovely pyro oversight, ignoring covid entirely (unless John Huber really did die of an abscess tooth that done crept into his lungs), ignoring lots of obvious roid use and visibly alcoholic wrestlers, zero wellness policy, lots of unsafe hardcore wrestling, lots of spots landing in the front row crowd, very awkward lingering hugs to his employees because just one of them needs to feel tony's bulge get engorged for that to become sueable.

Its a fascinating show and the stories that come out once tony is sued out of existence. get fentayled by accident by his supplier, gets outed and flees, gets sued by a smart attorney that can convince Big Swole to take up a public discrimination case and lets tony ruin himself in the court of public opinion on twitter, a fed up Fullham fan chivs him to death, or whatever else it is that ultimately destroys AEW within the next 2-6 years. Because to finally answer your question, no its not a real business that can survive outside of Tony Khan's booker fantasies and locker room with the boys wet dreams.

What a big nothing-burger. He did this just to pull in ratings, which is what I would expect from Vince imho.
