Cody Rhodes Reveals That TNT Title Name Will Not Be Changed

From the very first day the TNT Championship has been excellently booked by the All Elite Wrestling. In one year time it has changed hands for four times in total. The late great Brodie Lee aka Luke Harper first defeated Cody Rhodes to become the second TNT champion, Cody again regained the Championship and lost the title to Darby Allin. Recently, Miro defeated Darby Allin to become fifth TNT champion.

There was a rumour that the name of the Championship will be changed. Since the title is being treated as the mid card title of the All Elite Wrestling and they might have been changing the name to an ideal mid card Championship name.

The former WWE star Cody Rhodes recently broke the myth by confirming that the name of the TNT Championship will not be changed. Recently he spoke to Comic Book where he said;

“I don’t want to drop any spoilers, but I mean, I’ll drop a spoiler. I don’t think we’re going to change the title’s name one bit. TNT is the place that the first alternative challenger brand in two decades appeared on. Their excitement, our partners at WarnerMedia, and the TNT title, as I’ve stated, I think it is, if not the most important title in wrestling, the second most important title in wrestling.

“I don’t see us changing that name, and I think that’s kind of across the board. I don’t think you’ll find anybody in management or Tony himself who wants to change that name. We’ll always roll with the punches and we’ll always pivot, but I’m 99% sure the TNT title stays the TNT title.”
