 * Bret Hart Reveals the All Elite Wrestling(AEW) World Championship.jpg

History
What does the "success of All In" and then the "trademarks were filed" blah-di-blah have to do with the championship?? Nothing at all, just trivia. Can we please get some perspective in this article instead of trying to pad it out with information that is irrelevant to the article. Does the article on the Ford Focus include info on how the Ford Motor Company was founded? Does any wrestling championship include information on how the company was founded or just provide background on the championship? after all his is an article about the championship, not the company.

 * I just noticed your comments. It was the first thing I noticed when I saw the article was created and removed all that fluff. -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  16:22, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 8 September 2019
Hi, please change the image of chris jericho to other one holding the AEW title. That one is from WWE. This one, for example, on the following link: https://www.bodyslam.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Chris-Jericho-first-AEW-champion-full-1.jpg

Title defenses??
Should a section for title defenses be added along with number of reigns and days held (like what's done with the titles in New Japan)? Since statistics will be a big factor for AEW, it seems right to add this stat in too. Jedi Striker (talk) 14:07, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source that says AEW will officially track this? If not it should not be included. -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  14:14, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Only if AEW tracks defenses. As far as we know, the statistics are just to show who deserves a title shot and who doesn't. This is opposite of other companies who may randomly give someone a title shot (and even have them win) despite a history of being a jobber (e.g., Jinder Mahal). -- JDC808  ♫  21:46, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Good points. I'd be in favor of this if it's a stat they show and use on television and future PPVs. ---Jedi Striker (talk) 14:15, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Other title names
The title has also been referred to by AEW as the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, as can be seen on the Moxley vs MJF match graphic for All Out 2020 (https://www.instagram.com/p/CEweZ-KAJyr/?igshid=15la92uoo4gop), so this should be added to the page like how the WWE Championship page lists all the various names it has used over the years (WWWF title, WWF title, WWE title, Undisputed, etc) 71.50.209.18 (talk) 18:19, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Cody has specifically stated that there are no weight classes which is why there is no junior heavyweight division. It's the AEW World Championship.  They need to be consistent in the what they call it.  Don't make any changes until such time it has been made official.   Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 03:53, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Tony Khan, as first linked in this article, specifically stated that the world title would not be a "heavyweight" title, it's just the world championship. Also, yes, AEW have at times called it the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, but that is not it's official name. The reason the WWE Championship has all of those other names listed as those have all been official names of that championship. -- JDC808  ♫  06:57, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Redundancy
Isn't it somewhat redundant to claim that Jon Moxley became the second ever AEW World Champion by defeating Chris Jericho given that he is the second person on the list? Checking on other World Championships from other promotions and there is no such distintion as being the second champion after defeating the previous one, or AEW keeps track of that information?

Title Bracket
I can't figure out how or where to edit in the bracket for the 2022 tournament to crown a new champion. (Or if it should be included, since the original bracket to crown an inaugural champion wasn't include.)

AEW Championship tournament

 * I think the tournament bracket should be moved to the AEW Grand Slam (2022) page to be consistent with the rest of this page. Past tournament brackets have been included on the pages of the events where they concluded. Here, on this page for instance, it consists mostly of a description of what happened within a paragraph under History. EditorRock (talk) 02:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
