Every Current AEW Champion - Full List & Updates
An up to the minute guide on every single champion who currently holds gold in AEW and ROH.
Tony Khan oversees 18 active championships across core AEW programming and the offshoot ROH brand.
In some respects, the once proud standalone Ring Of Honor has become akin to NXT over on the WWE side. It's a sideshow, and gives some overlooked wrestlers somewhere to wrestle without sitting in catering for Dynamite or Collision. However, unlike NXT, ROH isn't really a developmental wing focused on building the next wave of All Elite stars. A quick look at the current champs reveals that.
This up to the minute guide will keep you in the loop if you're a little confused about who's holding some of the lesser titles across Khan's company. There are multiple variations of the Trios belts, for example, and the current "main roster" houses several championships that are only as strong as the wrestlers holding them at any given time. Case in point: The TBS, TNT and National straps.
Of course, like over on the list of every current WWE champion, holding any wrestling title in a major promotion is nothing to be ashamed of. It's a sure sign that AEW management is paying attention to someone's body of work. They're either mid-top line push (say hello to the World Champs) or on the cusp of doing something special with the right booking/patience on the undercard.
Holding gold at least guarantees some TV time too, which is never a bad thing either.
These are the current AEW champs in title hot seats across the full range of programming: Dynamite, Collision and ROH on HonorClub. Here's everything you need to know about who's holding what, when they won it and more!
AEW World Champion: Darby Allin
Since: 15 April, 2026.
Defeated: MJF.
Show: Dynamite.
Darby Allin's win over MJF in mid-April was a bolt from the blue moment designed to shake things up at the top of the tree in AEW. Sting made a cameo to aid his old protege's quest, and Darby has since vowed to become a fighting champion who will put on a show every single week whilst champ.
Dude's come a long way since being punted out of an Uber by an outraged driver who was clearly having a bad day. In-ring, few play the underdog in peril who will put his body through hell to win better than Allin, so at least fans know they'll see some cracking matches during his reign.
AEW Women's World Champion: Thekla
Since: 11 February, 2026.
Defeated: Kris Statlander.
Show: Dynamite.
It didn't take long for Thekla to make a splash on the AEW roster when she landed in the company last May. Since then, she's gone on to dethrone Kris Statlander as Women's Champion, which is a huge show of faith in the ex-Stardom worker from boss Tony Khan.
Khan is so impressed by what he's been seeing from Thekla that he decided to hand her a contract extension early to lock her down to a lengthier deal. Things are looking up for her then!
AEW World Tag-Team Champions: FTR
Since: 22 November, 2025.
Defeated: Brodido (Brody King and Bandido).
Show: Full Gear.
London, England got a lovely moment during the first in-arena AEW pay-per-view on UK soil when Bandido became the brand new tag champs in late-August at Forbidden Door. Brody King and Bandido (who is also ROH World Champ, for the record) beat Hurt Syndicate duo Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin as well as FTR to reign supreme.
Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood would have the last laugh by fighting back to reclaim the belts in a 20-minute scrap at Full Gear. For reference, this is the third time the ex-WWE'ers have held AEW gold.
AEW TNT Champion: Kevin Knight
Since: 12 April, 2026.
Defeated: Pinned Daniel Garcia in a 10-man Gauntlet.
Show: Dynasty.
Kyle Fletcher's misery was ultimately Kevin Knight's gain. He was the guy handpicked to supplant Fletcher as champion when the Don Callis Family man had to vacate the TNT Title due to a serious injury. Seizing opportunity, Kev lastly pinned Daniel Garcia in a 10-man Gauntlet bout at Dynasty to bag the gold.
There was a time when Knight looked like more of a tag-team worker than anything else, but he's turned heads behind the curtain long enough for management to give him a shot as a breakout singles star. His reign could be temporary, but it's a nod of approval from Khan.
AEW TBS Champion: Willow Nightingale
Since: 31 December, 2025.
Defeated: Mercedes Mone.
Show: Dynamite.
Popular rising star Willow Nightingale lost the TBS Title to Mercedes Mone back at Double Or Nothing 2024, but she's since regained the strap from Mone right at the tail end of 2025. That win set Willow up nicely heading into the new year and everything 2026 has to offer.
Nightingale's triumph played a part in Mercedes beginning to shed the embarrassment of riches she'd stacked up in terms of pro wrestling belts. Honestly, the title is a better fit on Willow right now. She's been impressing for a long, long time now, so it's nice to have something tangible around her waist/over her shoulder to reflect that hard graft.
AEW International Champion: Kazuchika Okada
Since: 12 July, 2025.
Defeated: Kenny Omega.
Show: All In Texas.
It'd be an outright lie to suggest that this is the same Kazuchika Okada who earned near God-like status in New Japan Pro Wrestling for years. The AEW version is a bit lower on the ladder in terms of aura and overall presentation, but Okada still has a part to play.
Kazuchika beat Kenny Omega to unify both his Continental and Omega's International belts in mid-July. Post-win, AEW handed Okada a brand new title that signifies unification. Then, once he'd lost the Continental Title to Jon Moxley, the Unified belt went back into storage.
AEW Continental Champion: Jon Moxley
Since: 27 December, 2025.
Defeated: Kazuchika Okada.
Show: Worlds End.
Death Riders leader Jon Moxley was the one who benefitted from Tony Khan's decision to split the International and Continental Titles back into 2 separate entities. He toppled Okada at Worlds End as 2025 came to a close, but there has been further news - Mox reportedly knocked back a storyline that would've seen his stablemates turn on him.
That could've led to a Continental Title feud between Moxley and Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, Claudio Castagnoli or PAC. Hell, even Marina Shafir could've got her licks in on her pal, but Jon was having none of it. He thinks this (death) ride needs to go on a bit longer.
AEW National Title: Jack Perry
Since: 15 March, 2026.
Defeated: Ricochet.
Show: Revolution.
Let's be honest: 'Jungle' Jack Perry hasn't been as relevant since wrestling moved on from his dramatic fallout with current WWE man CM Punk. He also didn't quite translate as a top star worthy of main event status in AEW, which is why Perry beat Ricochet in a 21-man Battle Royal at Revolution.
Jack could well hold this peripheral strap for a long time unless TK and other creative minds in the company come up with something cool for him. That National Title is WWF European Title in 2000 levels of important. No, that's not meant as a compliment.
AEW Women's Tag-Team Titles: Megan Bayne & Lena Kross
Since: 15 March, 2026.
Defeated: Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale.
Show: Revolution.
Megan Bayne's other partner Penelope Ford was struck down by a horrendous injury in February, so Megan has pivoted to Lena Kross. Together, they beat Babes Of Wrath duo Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale at Revolution in mid-march. Aesthetically, Bayne and Kross have a well-matched look.
They just fit, and they're worthy AEW Women's Tag Champs. The new titles could use some stability following that first title change. There's no reason to take the gold off this Divine Dominion for the foreseeable.
AEW World Trios Champions: The Conglomeration (Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly & Orange Cassidy)
Since: 12 April, 2026.
Defeated: The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, David Finlay and Clark Connors).
Show: Dynasty.
Gabe Kidd is another who's hit the AEW injured list, so the timing of The Dogs losing those World Trios Titles to Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy couldn't have been better. If everyone's being real, then it's kinda hard to care much about the Trios belts, but at least people know they're guaranteed some fun 6-man tags from The Conglomeration.
Conglomerate congratulations go out to them on securing these prizes.
ROH World Champion: Bandido
Since: 6 April, 2025.
Defeated: Chris Jericho.
Show: Dynasty.
Dynasty 2025 saw a big change on the ROH front.
Popular masked star Bandido defeated Chris Jericho in a 'Title vs. Mask' bout to claim the Ring Of Honor World strap. This is actually Bandido's second reign with the belt - he also enjoyed a 152 day run back in 2021. Jericho's own second stint in the title hot seat began when he beat Mark Briscoe on the 23 October 2024 episode of Dynamite.
Few will be too gutted to see Jericho drop the title at this stage in his career. Rumours persisted for a while that he'd eventually leave AEW and bolt back to WWE for one last run, but that didn't happen in the end.
ROH Women's World Champion: Athena
Since: 10 December, 2022.
Defeated: Mercedes Martinez.
Show: Final Battle.
Athena's is quietly building one of the lengthiest Women's Title reigns in modern pro wrestling history. She's been ROH Women's Champ since late-2022. This either proves that AEW management don't pay much attention to the Ring Of Honor brand, or shows just how accomplished a worker the former Ember Moon (in WWE's NXT) is.
Let's roll with the latter.
Athena probably deserves a bit more screen time on bigger AEW shows than she gets, but she seems content enough to busy herself with HonorClub shenanigans and bolster her title reign further. Surely someone else has to get a shot with that belt at some point?!
ROH World Tag-Team Champions: Sammy Guevara & The Beast Mortos
Since: 5 December, 2025.
Defeated: Tommy Billington and Adam Priest.
Show: Final Battle.
Sammy Guevara was already one half of the ROH Tag-Team Champs with Rush when his partner got injured and they had to vacate the titles. Then, as if by magic, Sammy had another pal ready to go: The Beast Mortos. Beauty and the beast (Guevara would call them that) beat Tommy Billington and Adam Priest to claim success at Final Battle in early-December 2025.
Together, they make a nice power and speed tandem. Sammy must be praying to the wrestling deities that Mortos doesn't get injured like prior partners Dustin Rhodes and Rush did.
ROH World Television Champion: Nick Wayne
Since: 17 April, 2025.
Defeated: Komander.
Show: Collision.
Komander's time with the ROH TV Title came and went across a largely inconsequential 118 days. The masked man beat multiple foes to win the thing back at Final Battle in December 2024, but then Nick Wayne came calling in mid-April 2025 at the special Spring BreakThru edition of Collision.
Tony Khan put some singles gold on young master Wayne.
It remains to be seen if this will actually do anything for Nick's fledgling AEW career, or if it's just wrestling's latest forgettable title win. Fingers crossed he gets some shine out of it and uses the ROH spot as a springboard to bigger things.
ROH Women's World Television Champion: Red Velvet
Since: 5 December, 2025.
Defeated: Mercedes Mone.
Show: Final Battle.
Red Velvet started her second run with the ROH Women's TV Title in December last year. Like Willow Nightingale, she was another who ended one of Mercedes Mone's title reigns with a bang. However, Velvet was likely hoping to move up the AEW ladder towards shows like Dynamite and Collision more often than not.
Sadly for those ambitions, she's seen as much more of a ROH stalwart by Tony Khan than anything else. Oh well, a title win's a title win.
ROH Pure Champion: Lee Moriarty
Since: 26 July, 2024.
Defeated: Wheeler Yuta.
Show: Death Before Dishonor.
The ROH Pure Championship tends to stay put on wrestlers for a while. That was the case when it debuted in 2004, and that has certainly been the case since the belt came back (post-2006 unification with the ROH World Title) in 2020. Former champs like Jonathan Gresham, Josh Woods, Katsuyori Shibata and Wheeler Yuta all held the belt for well over 200 days.
Current title holder Lee Moriarty has continued that trend. He beat Yuta back in July 2024, and has locked down a solid niche for himself on the brand heading through the latter months of the year into 2026.
ROH Women's Pure Champion: Deonna Purrazzo
Since: 5 December, 2025.
Defeated: Billie Starkz.
Show: Final Battle.
AEW life hasn't always been prolific for Deonna Purrazzo, and that has left her miffed here or there when speaking to the media about her role in the promotion. Offering an olive branch, Tony Khan made Deonna the first ever ROH Women's Pure Champ at Final Battle.
Since then, Purrazzo has defended her strap against Trish Adora, Billie Starkz (the woman she beat to win it) and Gisele Shaw across various Ring Of Honor shows. Hopefully, this particular title reign ends up satisfying her a lot more than All Elite booking has to date.
ROH World Six-Man Champions: Shayne Taylor Promotions
Since: 29 August, 2025.
Defeated: Sons Of Texas (Sammy Guevara, Ross Von Erich, Marshall Von Erich).
Show: ROH Death Before Dishonor.
Dustin Rhodes going in for double knee replacement surgery meant he had to vacate his ROH Six-Man strap. Thus, a match was set up for Death Before Dishonor that saw Sammy Guevara (pre-jump to La Facción Ingobernable) team up with both Ross and Marshall Von Erich in a losing effort to Shane Taylor Promotions.
Taylor, Carlie Bravo and Capt. Shawn Dean are the current champs. Being honest, not many people pay close attention to the peripheral Ring Of Honor belts these days, but any STP fans will be chuffed to see these boys riding high. Previously, Taylor held the gold with Moses and Kaun in 2021, so things have almost come full circle for him under AEW's watch.
