AEW TBS Championship History

AEW introduced its secondary championship for the male roster in March 2020. It was named the AEW TNT Championship after the TNT network, where AEW Dynamite aired every week. In May 2021, it was announced that Dynamite would be moving from TNT to its sister channel TBS. It was also announced that despite the shift, the TNT Championship would be called as such and will continue to appear on Dynamite. Further, Cody Rhodes confirmed that AEW had no plans to introduce a TBS Championship for the male wrestlers.

In October 2021, AEW announced that it would be introducing a secondary championship for the female roster and it will be named after Dynamite's current television network, TBS. On the October 6, 2021, episode of Dynamite, Tony Khan had promised a huge announcement. On the night, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone and referee Aubrey Edwards officially unveiled the AEW TBS Championship as a women's championship. The inaugural tournament was crowned by a single-round knockout tournament between twelve wrestlers.
