"Numerous pitches" made internally to merge 2 top AEW championships [Reports]

The AEW roster has plenty of pathways to championship gold. Tony Khan has provided multiple titles for tag team and singles competitors in both the men's and women's divisions. With a combined 15 championships between AEW and ROH, there have been talks to reportedly merge two top championships.

All Elite singles competitors are currently chasing AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada, International Champion Konosuke Takeshita, and TNT Champion Daniel Garcia. Not to mention, the women's division is represented by TBS Champion Mercedes Moné and Women's World Champion Toni Storm.

The Rainmaker and The Alpha may be headed for a championship shake-up, according to Fightful Select. Sources report that there have been numerous pitches made for Okada's Continental Championship to be merged with Takeshita's International Championship.

AEW has not indicated if the merger will indeed happen. However, it was noted that sources gave plenty of credibility to the idea when asked, indicating that this could actually happen in the near future.

With Kenny Omega's upcoming International Championship shot, and the expected Omega vs. Okada match down the line, it's speculated that Omega could be part of a title unification match at some point.

Khan introduced the All-Atlantic Championship in June 2022, re-billing it as the International Championship in March 2023.

Eddie Kingston became the inaugural Continental Champion in December 2023 after winning the Continental Classic, but Okada dethroned him 81 days later on Dynamite.
