Every Major Wrestling Title Ranked From Ugliest To Most Beautiful

8. AEW Women's Championship

AEW World Tag Team Championship

Another triumph from the nascent big-time league, this belt is incredible because without even looking at the lettering, it's immediately obvious what it is, but not in a way that feels secondary, or pejorative: the oval shape of the central plate is distinctly feminine, as are the various jewels that don't over-awe. The black strap and traditional colours helpfully put over the idea that it is, foremost, a wrestling World Championship.

This is the exact opposite of the old WWE Divas butterfly belt, which might might as well have been covered in glitter and sparkles: it's very obviously a Women's Title, but one designed in a way that doesn't frame the women as eye candy piss breaks.
