Tony Khan: Women’s Wrestling in AEW Is the Best It’s Ever Been and the Women’s World Tag Team Championships Will Make It Even Stronger
Tony Khan talks about the women’s division and how strong it has become.
On the September 24 edition of AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan officially announced the arrival of the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships. Something many fans, wrestlers and higher ups have been looking forward to since the teasing began over a year ago.
Speaking with Rob Wolkenbrod of Forbes, Tony Khan had this to say about the inaugural gold.
“I’m very excited about the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship coming to AEW this year. Throughout 2025, the women’s division has been delivering more great matches and rivalries than ever before, and so many top stars have continued to emerge.
“We’ve had amazing signings, like Mercedes Moné, who came in as a free agent and is now the TBS Champion, and if you look back a few years, Toni Storm joined AEW and went on to become one of our greatest champions. Along the way, we’ve added so many talented faces. Kris Statlander, who’s been here from the early years, has become a top star in her own right.
“More recently, we’ve also seen the rise of some very interesting and very talented women’s tag teams. With the roster at its strongest, the highest quality it’s ever been, I think now is the perfect time to introduce the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships. Women’s wrestling in AEW is the best it’s ever been, and these titles will make it even stronger.”
When more details are known and which teams will be involved are announced, we will let you know.
