All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Jacksonville, Florida, and is considered the second largest wrestling promotion in the United States behind WWE. Title reigns are either determined by professional wrestling matches or are awarded to a wrestler as a result of the culmination of various scripted storylines.

There are currently eight championships in AEW. There are four singles championships, one traditional tag team championship, and one six-man tag team championship for male wrestlers, while there are two singles championships for female wrestlers. Championships from AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor are also occasionally defended on AEW programming; its titles can be found at the Ring of Honor article.

As of August 25, 2023, 11 wrestlers officially hold AEW's championships. This list includes the number of times the wrestler has held the title, the date and location of the win, and a description of the winning bout.

Overview

The American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) promotes several professional wrestling championships for its men's and women's divisions. AEW often broadcasts championship matches on their weekly television programs—Wednesday Night Dynamite, Friday Night Rampage, and Saturday Night Collision—as well as television specials, including Battle of the Belts. Championship defenses also occur at the promotion's periodic pay-per-view events.

At the top of AEW's championship hierarchy for male wrestlers is the AEW World Championship. It is held by first-time champion MJF, who defeated Jon Moxley at Full Gear on November 19, 2022, in what was MJF's Casino Poker Chip cash-in match.[1]

Secondary titles for male wrestlers include the AEW International Championship and the AEW TNT Championship. The International Championship has a special attribute in which it can be defended in other promotions globally, while the TNT Championship is a television championship.
