Ranking Every AEW Championship Reign Of 2023

26. Wardlow - AEW TNT Championship

Not to put the cart before the horse, but Orange Cassidy's International title reign is going to be pretty close to the top of this list. It's worth mentioning now just for the benefit of this incredible stat:

During Cassidy's first reign with that title, Wardlow lost the TNT Championship three times.

This particular instance is the second. Wardlow beat Samoa Joe for the title at Revolution and then dropped it to Powerhouse Hobbs 3 days later. If you thought AEW didn't do what WWE was so guilty of during the 2010s, proceedings must be kicked off with the most blatant use of a transitional champion ever.
