2. Get AEW's World Title On These Things

Broken record time.

Come on, Tony Khan - stick that AEW World Championship on at least one of these specials, because the format badly needs that. Sure, AEW served up a stunning ROH World Title clash in the main event on Saturday night, but that doesn't excuse the fact that their own top prize was barely even mentioned.

Battle Of The Belts III went off the air with Excalibur hyping Jon Moxley's impending title defence vs. Chris Jericho on Wednesday's 'Quake By The Lake' episode of Dynamite. That, rather unfortunately, told everyone watching that BOTB is totally secondary. Here's the thing: It really shouldn't be.

Moxley, or whomever is AEW Champ by then, must be featured front and centre on the fourth Battle Of The Belts this October. All Elite's owners owe it to this show, one which has some potential to be their very own Clash Of The Champions, and it's about time they stuck the World Title on there.
