New Title Match Announced For AEW Battle Of The Belts
Who will put their title on the line during AEW's Battle of the Belts TNT special?
Ricky Starks will put his FTW Championship on the line against Matt Sydal on tonight's Battle of the Belts TNT special.
Announced during last night's AEW Rampage episode, the 'Absolute' champ demanded to have his belt put under the spotlight coming into the first special of 2022, confirming with Tony Khan that he'd like to face Sydal as a way of proving a point to Dante Martin. Will Stark be able to overcome the veteran Sydal at the first attempt as Team Taz look to make an example out of the youngster who made something of a fool of the squad a few weeks back?

In the wake of Cody Rhodes being pulled from the event due to "medical protocol", his brother Dustin Rhodes taking on Sammy Guevara for the interim TNT Championship and Britt Baker defending her AEW Women's Championship against Riho make up the rest of this TNT delight.
Who will walk out of this Saturday night draped in gold? And which star will head back to the drawing board as the New Year unfolds before our very eyes?
Tony Khan has definitely kicked 2022 with a bang, booking every single title available within AEW to be defended throughout the first full week of the year.
