Every Major Wrestling Title Ranked From The Ugliest To Most Beautiful

10. AEW International

While not remotely “ugly”, the physical design of the AEW International title reflects its status and storyline position. It’s quite big, which indicates that it is equivalent to the World title, but the sloped effect of the main plate suggests it belongs to the midcard. Like the title itself, the design is almost confused. It’s neither one thing nor the other; it isn’t taken seriously as a major title, nor, in a promotion where virtually every match is meant to be great, can it be a “workhorse” title. 

Still, the pattern on the plates is a nice, classic, heavily detailed NWA-inspired look, and the flag theme isn’t overbearing. Nice as it is, it's too derivative of the World Women's.
