5 Titles that AEW could introduce

The Young Bucks may not have gold anymore, but introducing Trios titles could change that for the Elite.

#3 AEW could put its own spin on the Gift of the Gods or Money in the Bank concepts.

AEW may not want to copy other wrestling promotions, but it doesn't mean that they couldn't borrow some ideas from other companies. AEW can tweak prior title concepts with a twist of its own.

Lucha Underground had the Gift of the Gods Championship. It essentially gave the holder a title shot. The matches for the title were similar to the Money in the Bank Ladder match. Seven competitors often battled for the right to hoist the belt.

Another thing Lucha Underground did with that title is qualifying matches. Winners of those qualifiers earned a medallion that fit into the title belt. It had seven spots, so seven stars had a chance at a future world title shot.

Some people will argue that it was just a version of Money in the Bank, and it was. The difference was that Lucha Underground put a unique spin on it and made it their own. AEW can do the same.

One reason why introducing a title similar to MITB would be good is the unpredictability. The best thing about WWE's briefcases is that fans don't typically know when a cash-in may happen.

There have been enough briefcase holders, however, that fans often know the best scenarios for when a cash-in might occur. It could be for wrestlers who haven't had title shots, or for those who clearly have potential. Such a concept would be a perfect fit for someone like MJF.

The only question: What spin can AEW put on such a belt? IMPACT Wrestling also has Option C for the holder of the X Division title. The Champion can cash in the X Division belt at Destination X or at another time.

Unpredictability keeps fans on their toes. If the crowd can predict every outcome, wrestling becomes boring. Having a title in AEW like the Gift of the Gods or Money in the Bank wouldn't be a bad thing.
