Despite having a talented roster and exciting matches, the article contends that nearly all of AEW's title belts lack clear purpose, consistent booking logic, and meaningful stakes. The author points to the recent Double or Nothing PPV as evidence that while the in-ring action is strong, the championship hierarchy and storytelling around the titles remain confused and poorly managed.
Key quotes
