10 Worst Title Reigns In AEW History
9. Jack Perry (June 30th, 2024 - November 23th, 2024)
There's nothing wrong in a noble failure of a push in pro wrestling, and that's what Jack Perry's 2024 will ultimately go down as.
He was given major wins, major matches and - for better and worse - one of the major moments of the year. Taking out Tony Khan to reveal the full formation of a new Elite alongside The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada was supposed to be a transgression so enormous that it justified showing camera footage of the real Wembley fight with CM Punk weeks earlier and launch the group into the stratosphere with 'The Scapegoat' at the forefront.
He became the TNT Champion as an integral part of the story, but the lack of credibility in the foundation of the group and realistically Perry's matches lowered the status of the division below the numerous other midcard titles at the company's disposal. The former 'Jungle Boy' was a rule-proving exception in his biggest year yet - while there were too many wrestlers getting not enough time, he was getting too much time in place of too many other wrestlers.
