10 Worst Title Reigns In AEW History

10. The Elite (September 4th 2022 - September 7th 2022)

More on the other belt that was severely damaged by everything that happened on the night of All Out 2022, but AEW's brand new Trios Championships being won then immediately vacated did little help a division that already felt like it was being formally launched a year or two late.

The Elite were great winners of a great tournament, and would prove that again in a captivating best-of-seven series with Death Triangle when they returned to television from their suspension, but the belts being drenched in controversy from the off left a stain that hasn't really been washed away during the coldest period in AEW history. 

Trios matches required their constant presence and attention to sell the idea that this was where the best wrestled, long before the company forced it through as a catchphrase. They'd been pulled into the whirlwind of chaos stirred up by CM Punk's words in the All Out 2022 press scrum, the belts came with them, and it understandably felt like forever before the performers and the prizes were back to best.
