During his appearance on Wrestfriends, AEW’s Tony Khan provided an update on the status of the company’s Women’s Tag Team Championships.
Khan said the belts are actually made, but that several injuries, which took place during the women’s Casino Gauntlet Match at All In, has been a contributing factor as to why he has not yet introduced the belts.
“I have the belts. I made the belts. They exist. But I will put them into play when we are able to put the very best roster forward.”
Khan also said that he wants the women’s division healthy and that if he tried to introduced the titles now, he would be missing a lot of his talent. He added that he could, however do the tournament to crown the inaugural champions, but would not be able to have a healthy singles division as well.
“I do want to get the division healthy because if I tried to do it right now, I would be missing a lot of the people and I could do the tournament, but then I wouldn’t be able to have a healthy singles division at the same time.”
Khan has initial stated at the All In post-event press conference he had plans to introduce the titles, but noted the injuries and that back in May, it was his goal to introduce the titles.
Khan also talked about the Chicago residency and Lucha Libre wrestling.
