Hell yeah

God, this reminds me of how years ago, WWE released a series of choose-your-own-adventure books and one of them had a short bit where your rookie wrestler is pulled aside by Chris Jericho who, as a rib, tries to convince you to do a gimmick of "Kid Caveman." You can ignore him and just be yourself or you can take him up on it and immediately be labeled a laughing stock. From there, there are two options that end the story and both of them are kind of amazing in retrospect.

Choice 1: You start a fight backstage and get fired for it.

Choice 2: You double down on the gimmick and get it over. This leads to you spending time wrestling in Japan, which ends up being fruitful to your career.

International is same rules as the world title, just lower level.

Continental is everybody banned from ringside and if you hold it at Full Gear you get auto entry into the Continental Classic.

TNT is 20 minute (or TV time remaining) time limit.

It's "unsanctioned/rogue". Taz originally made it as a vanity belt in the 90s. In AEW he formed "Team Taz" and gifted the belt to Bryan Cage and it eventually made it back to Taz's son Hook.

Hold on. The belts have specific rule sets around them? Is this true in WWE too?

AEW's belts don't have formal rules, but they pick up rules that the champion wants. When a member of House of Black holds a title, their title matches are generally House Rules (which mostly amounts to "the challenger gets to pick a stipulation, we'll beat you anyway"). The International Championship was essentially open-challenge when Orange Cassidy held it, because Orange accepted any challenge at any time. The TNT Title currently has a recurring open challenge, because Adam Copeland wants one. Beyond that... yeah, they just drift up and down the card based on how over the people holding the title are.

WWE doesn't really do this beyond basic "the cruiserweight belt can only be challenged for by cruiserweight wrestlers" stuff, and that's mostly because they just don't care about their lower card belts or the people holding them.

If we count the ROH Pure Championship, that's an exception.

Good point, I forgot about that. And the Continental belt will probably have some formal rule around the Continental Classic, but we won't know those until the next tournament.

In any case, I was still mostly correct.

They've said that whoever is Continental Champion at the time of the next tournament is automatically entered into the C2, with the belt going into the prize pool.

Its also on the poster for the Prestige show in July he was just announced for (he could obviously drop it before then, but definitely surprising that AEW would allow the belt on the poster for an indie show).

Black on tweets was all about Black saying he was fine, uninjured, and ready to go. Then he would turn around and do interviews mentioning that his back was so bad that doctors weren't sure surgery would even help and he had trouble getting out of bed in the morning. In conclusion Malachy Blacky is a land of contrasts.

Continental title matches have a set time limit (30 minutes) and managers/seconds/factions are banned from ringside

TNT is theoretically a TV belt but the other 2 are regularly defended on TV so idk.

And finally the International title has been leveled up by Shazam: Fury of the Gods, which the other belts lack
