AEW is working hard to add more value and entertainment to its programming. Tony Khan recently announced that a new title will be introduced in the company following Full Gear 2023.
The new title will be called the Continental Championship. It is now the prize of the round-robin tournament that was announced earlier. Many top names are set to be a part of the series, including Bryan Danielson, Andrade El Idolo, Mark Briscoe, and Eddie Kingston.
The Mad King upped the ante with an announcement of his own. He said that his NJPW Strong Openweight Championship and ROH World Championship will be on the line whenever he competes in a match. Hence, anyone who is added to the tournament can become a Triple Crown Champion, with three titles up for grabs.
On Twitter, Tony Khan confirmed the details of the tournament, as you can view below:
