Tony Khan confirms that the AEW Triple Crown is no longer in play

Mar 22, 2024 - by Colin Vassallo

AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that the AEW Triple Crown is no longer and the Continental title, NJPW Strong Opwenweight title, and the ROH World title are now separate once again.

It was a short-lived stint for the Triple Crown, which was introduced at Worlds End in December 2023 and ended at this Wednesday’s Dynamite in Toronto when Kazuchika Okada defeated Eddie Kingston for just the Continental title.

Khan told ComicBook Nation in an interview that whoever is the champion after the Full Gear pay-per-view in November will be included automatically in the Continental Classic tournament and the only way to keep the title then is to win the tournament at the Worlds End pay-per-view.

The rules for the title will remain the same, meaning there will be no interference and the match will be a one-on-one with no one allowed around the ring.

    Phew! At least Tony didn’t waste weeks of TV time on a tournament that was absolutely pointless 3 months later 🙄

    Why do people who hate AEW so much feel the need to read and comment negatively on their stories why not just ignore the stories and be happier

    @dooman
    Why do people who are incapable of understanding that other people don’t like what they like always feel the need to equate that with hate? And how come they never use punctuation?

    To answer what I presume is your question (they usually end with something like this: “?”), it’s because most of us want AEW to be good, we’re disappointed in how it turned out, and we’re venting our frustrations. We’re not content with it being less than mediocre when it has (had?) so much potential and the biggest money mark in history.

    Also, it makes us happy…

    I gave AEW 6 months until I checked out. Their “storylines” are impossible to follow.

    negative comments get no where though if you have nothing nice to say why say anything i’m not here to argue i am here to get my information and can do withou hate on at least one internet site

    @dooman
    Yeah, doing stupid things is fine, it’s bringing attention to them that’s wrong…
    Isn’t that how North Korea works?
    It’s amazing. Knowledge has never been this readily accessible, and yet people are dumber than ever.

    Certain negative comments are good because it shows that not everyone is happy with the current product. Only a fool would dismiss a negative comment without considering why the person wrote it.

    @Joseph
    And that’s exactly what Tony the Tiger (we’re grrreat!) does. And that’s why criticism of AEW keeps growing.
