Ranking Every AEW Championship Reign Of 2023

Certainly, Powerhouse Hobbs is one of the more interesting TNT champions of this year, but more in theory than practice. A long-serving and deeply underrated member of the AEW roster, it seemed like in 2023 he might finally reach the next level when he won the Face of the Revolution ladder match for a title shot and, in fact, brutalised Wardlow for the belt.

But then immediately after that... he was surrounded by QTV, an utterly confounding stable that not only sucked the charisma out of the room but absolutely took the shine off Powerhouse's impressive win.

This brute of a man didn't need stupid, mouthy lackies. Who was this even for? Too late to work that out, 42 days later Wardlow won the belt back.
