10 AEW Title Changes That MUST Happen In 2023

7. FTW Championship - Big Bill

Straight off, the jury is very much out on the bizarrely renamed Big Bill. The former W Morrissey/Big Cass is massive and intense, but you’d struggle to name a great match of his.

To that end, like Stokely Hathaway or Enzo Amore, Big Bill would be used as a tool, in this case to further the advancement of Hook. While Taz Jr undeniably has the It factor and has looked solid in every match so far, crushing jobbers will only take you so far. He needs a statement win to send him up the card.

Battering a seven-footer would be a good start. Have Bill take the gaudy orange strap off Hook sooner rather than later. The chase could be great fun, with Hook teaming with his pal Jack Perry to fight the odds against the villainous Firm before finally giving Hook a huge, dominant win over a giant on PPV.

From there, AEW could likely more or less retire the FTW Championship, which has only ever felt like A Thing when Taz could be bothered bigging it up. The important thing is nurturing Hook, who has a genuine cool factor few wrestlers ever come close to.
