AEW Battle of the Belts

AEW Battle of the Belts was an American series of professional wrestling television specials that was produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW), running from January 8, 2022, to October 19, 2024. The one-hour specials were broadcast on TNT in the United States and aired quarterly throughout the year, with a total of 12 episodes produced. The series was originally broadcast on select Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), but was moved to Fridays at 11:00 p.m. ET beginning with the fourth episode before its move back to Saturdays at 10:00 p.m. ET with the seventh episode. Some episodes aired live, while a select few others aired on tape delay, recorded in conjunction with AEW's other weekly television programs. The series was quietly canceled as it was not included in AEW's media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery that took effect on January 1, 2025.

The theme of the show was originally that all matches were contested for professional wrestling championships with an average of three matches per episode; in 2024, this expanded to include matches for future opportunities at championships as well as standard non-title matches. Over the series 12 episodes, every AEW championship had been defended on the program, except the men's World Championship. These included five men's titles—the TNT Championship, the International Championship, the Continental Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, and the World Trios Championship—and both women's titles—the Women's World Championship and TBS Championship. There had also been five championships from AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) contested. These included four men's titles—the World Championship, the World Television Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, and the World Six-Man Tag Team Championship—and one women's title—the Women's World Championship. The former men's FTW Championship, which was used by AEW from July 2020 until its retirement in September 2024, also had defenses on the program.

Only three title changes occurred during Battle of the Belts episodes, two of which involved Sammy Guevara. The first was on the inaugural episode, which saw him defeat Dustin Rhodes to determine the interim TNT Champion, and the other was on the second episode in which he defeated Scorpio Sky to win his record-tying third TNT Championship. The third title change occurred on the 11th episode which saw Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs (Marshall Von Erich and Ross Von Erich) defeat The Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett) to win the vacant ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. There had also been four Championship Eliminator matches, a stipulation in which if the challenger defeats the champion, they get a future title match, but if they lose, they can no longer challenge that champion for as long as they hold the title. One of these Championship Eliminators featured the Women's World Championship of AEW's partner Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, which happened on the 11th episode. The only match to not have any championship implications occurred on the 12th and final episode, which was a standard tag team match.
