Tony Khan Explains Why Women's Tag Titles Are Currently On Hold In AEW
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan recently sat down with Iridian Fierro of WGN Radio. When asked about the potential of bringing Women's Tag Team Titles into the company, Khan said plans for these titles are currently on hold due to injuries in the division.
'I have a bunch of people I would like to get involved in a women's tag team tournament, potentially,' Tony Khan said. 'There has been so much injury in the women's division. And as the person who put together the Women's Casino Gauntlet, I wish that we had come out of it healthier. A quarter of the people in the match got knocked out of the match and out of action indefinitely. So we had one match where I lost 25% of the roster in one match.
'I would really like to have just mentioning people on the women's roster. Not all necessarily for the tag team tournament, but to have a full roster competing for the Women's World Championship, the TBS Championship, and potentially Tag Team Championships, because I would like to do AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships.
The AEW Women's Tag Team Titles already exist
'I have the belts. I've made the belts. They exist, but I will put them into play when we are able to put the very best full roster forward to have great action with competition for all the championships.' [H/T: WrestlePurists]

Cody Rhodes Believes He Was Disrespected During His Time In AEW
Cody Rhodes recently opened up about his time at AEW, and revealed he felt disrespected at times with the company. Speaking to The Ringer in a recent interview, Rhodes opened up about his time with AEW, and the bad blood the two have. Rhodes noted that feeling disrespected in WWE was something he could take. However, feeling disrespected at AEW — which he helped popularize — was something he couldn't. 'There's clearly bad blood,' said Rhodes. 'But there's also clearly respect and love. In the end, the way I see it is, if I felt disrespected ever at WWE, that's one thing. That's a company that was built…that's the Yankees. That's the flagship of it all. If I ever felt [disrespected] there, I was a number on a sheet, maybe, but feeling disrespected at something I built with my friends. That we built. Feeling disrespected there, I wouldn't stand for it.' Rhodes went on to note that, when he left AEW, he felt driven to prove to the fans and company what he could do. Specifically, he remembered thinking that AEW would 'find out' what he could do once he made it to another promotion. 'Brandi and I both, I'm so blessed to have her. It was one of those where it was, f–k it. 'I did way more here than you think, and you're going to find out the moment I'm out the door,'' Rhodes said. 'I don't believe in the cold-hearted back-stabbing type of revenge. The greatest revenge on Earth is success. I felt like we were sitting on something wonderful. Something great. A huge, potentially, what I was doing with the American Nightmare, as a bad guy, as a good guy, something in between. We're sitting on some magic. If I'm not going to do it in the house that I literally, with Matt, Nick, and Kenny built, then buddy, I'm going elsewhere.'

Scott D'Amore Sees The Young Bucks Going To WWE To Get A WrestleMania Moment
The Young Bucks in WWE? Stranger things have happened, but Scott D'Amore can still see it being possible. D'Amore published the latest edition of his 'D'Amore Drop' column on Yahoo's The Uncrowned. There, he recapped AEW's huge All In: Texas event, which saw Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland beat the Young Bucks. Due to the match stipulation, the Jackson brothers lost their EVP titles. D'Amore believes the Young Bucks, who were EVPs and with AEW since day one, have done it all in the company. It might not happen now, but he can see WWE calling again, and maybe this time the Bucks go chase a WrestleMania moment of their own. 'Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland beat the Young Bucks, with the gimmick the Bucks are no longer AEW EVPs. You had the top stars of tomorrow beating the guys who helped build the company. The Bucks — Matt and Nick Jackson — have done everything there is to do in AEW as characters and as real-life executives,' D'Amore wrote. 'Hmmm … It's no secret WWE wanted the Bucks badly before they helped form AEW — and I can see Matt and Nick, not tomorrow, but at some point — maybe deciding it is time to go have a WrestleMania moment like fellow AEW founder Cody Rhodes did,' he added. D'Amore was released by Anthem Sports in February 2024 and replaced as TNA President by Anthony Cicione. However, Cicione has also left the promotion and was replaced by the current TNA President, Carlos Silva. Since his departure, D'Amore started his own promotion, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, in Canada.
