The TNT Championship title is up for grabs.
Following Adam Copeland’s injury at AEW Double Or Nothing, which resulted in a fractured tibia from a daring leap from the top of a steel cage, The Elite have decided to vacate the title. In a Tuesday announcement, Copeland shared details of his injury.
In search of a new titleholder, The Elite attempted to hand the championship to Jack Perry. However, Christopher Daniels interrupted the proceedings. Revealing his new role as Interim Executive Vice President, acting on Tony Khan’s orders, Daniels stepped in to shake things up.
Daniels proclaimed that the future champion would be determined through qualifying matches, excluding the presence of seconds and managers at ringside. These matches are set to unfold over the coming weeks, leading to a climactic ladder match at Forbidden Door, where the victor will be crowned TNT Champion.
