Every Major Wrestling Title Ranked From The Ugliest To Most Beautiful

6. AEW World (Women’s)

The first design was so tiny that it was inadvertently funny - certainly not in a way that reflected well on AEW. The sheer size disparity between the AEW men’s and women’s titles in 2019 was symbolic to a drastic extent. 

It was then made bigger, and redesigned altogether. The current design is really quite good: the AEW logo is de-emphasised in favour of a sash and a globe, but it trends more towards vintage than generic, chiefly through some beautiful, pronounced decoration. Four gold and silver circles corner the main plate, which enables it to stand out - an effect further achieved by the juxtaposition provided by the sharp line of the enormous side plate. 

Much like the division itself, AEW got there in the end - not that it should have taken them that long.
