AEW ‘leveling up’ All-Atlantic title to International title

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The AEW All-Atlantic Championship has been rebranded.

On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan mentioned that next week in Winnipeg, Canada the All-Atlantic Championship would be defended on international soil for the fifth and final time when Orange Cassidy defends against Jeff Jarrett. Khan announced that the title has officially been rebranded as the AEW International Championship, mentioning that the title was “leveling up”. Khan also used the announcement to plug Warner Bros. upcoming Shazam: Fury of the Gods movie.

Earlier in the show, Cassidy defeated Jay Lethal to retain the title. After the match, Jarrett attacked Cassidy and used his guitar to smash Cassidy’s knee. Best Friends, who had left the ring area after the match, returned to make the save.

The All-Atlantic Championship was introduced last June, with PAC becoming the first champion at Forbidden Door later that month. Orange Cassidy is the second champion, defeating PAC back on the October 12 edition of Dynamite.

The All-Atlantic Championship will be defended on AEW Rampage. 

Orange Cassidy will defend his title against Lee Moriarty on the show. 

AEW set the match up with a backstage segment posted to social media on Thursday. Lexy Nair attempted to interview Stokely Hathaway in the back but they were interrupted by Danhausen and Cassidy. 

Tony Khan later made the match official.

Cassidy is just the second wrestler to hold the All-Atlantic Championship. After defeating PAC to win the belt in Toronto last October, he has since defended it successfully 10 times. 

AEW Rampage this week was filmed on Wednesday from the El Paso County Coliseum. The advertised lineup for the show is as follows: 

  • All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy defends against Lee Moriarty w/ Stokely Hathaway
  • Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) vs. Kip Sabian and The Butcher & The Blade
  • Jack Perry in action
  • Ruby Soho vs. Marina Shafir
  • Mark Briscoe appearance

AEW All-Atlantic title match set for Battle of the Belts V

Posted on by Bryan Rose

An All-Atlantic title match has been announced for AEW Battle of the Belts V.

Orange Cassidy will defend the All-Atlantic title against Kip Sabian, which will take place on January 6. The two have been feuding in recent weeks, with Sabian expressing interest in obtaining a title match.

On Wednesday’s Dynamite, Sabian said that since he eliminated Orange Cassidy from the trios battle royal on last week’s Rampage, he should be next in line for an All-Atlantic title match. Instead, Cassidy chose Best Friends teammate Trent Beretta as the next challenger. The two had their match on Friday, with Cassidy retaining the title.

After the match, Kip Sabian emerged from commentary to defeat Atiba. At one point in the match, Penelope Ford gave Sabian Cassidy’s elbow pad that he had discarded in the previous match. Sabian then won after hitting an Orange Punch.

Battle of the Belts V will air immediately after next Friday’s live edition of Rampage.

An All-Atlantic title match is one of several new segments announced for Friday’s AEW Rampage episode. 

In the main event of this week’s show, Orange Cassidy will defend the All-Atlantic Championship against Lee Johnson. Their title bout was set up in a backstage segment that aired on AEW social media channels, then later on Dynamite on Wednesday. 

Also added to Friday’s show, Nyla Rose will issue an open challenge. Rose is claiming to be the TBS Champion, though Jade Cargill is actually the champ. Cargill vs. Rose for the TBS title is set for Full Gear on November 19. 

In another new segment announced for Friday, Jungle Boy will go face-to-face with Christian Cage and Luchasaurus. Jungle Boy stated on Dynamite that he has a challenge to issue to either Christian or Luchasaurus, but wants to do so in person. 

Already set for Friday’s show are three AEW World title eliminator tournament bouts. 

Here is the announced lineup for Friday’s Rampage. The show is being taped Wednesday night in Boston: 

  • AEW All-Atlantic Championship: Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Lee Johnson

Posted on by Bryan Rose

An appearance from Mike Tyson and an All-Atlantic title match will take place on next week’s live Rampage in Atlantic City.

Tyson will appear as a special guest commentator for the show. He previously appeared on AEW back in 2020, confronting Chris Jericho on an episode of AEW Dynamite. He also presented the TNT Championship to Cody at Double or Nothing 2020, when Cody became the inaugural champion by defeating Lance Archer in a tournament final.

Additionally, a match for the AEW All-Atlantic title has been announced, where the champion will be able to face an opponent of his choosing. Current champion Orange Cassidy will defend the title this Wednesday on Dynamite against Luchasarus and Rey Fenix in a three-way match that was set up on last week’s program.

Here is the current lineup for next Friday’s Rampage:

  • All-Atlantic title: Champion gets to make the match
  • Mike Tyson to appear as special guest commentator

Orange Cassidy wins All-Atlantic title on AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Orange Cassidy is the new AEW All-Atlantic Champion.

Cassidy defeated PAC on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite. The finish saw PAC going to use the ring bell hammer, as he has done in recent weeks to earn victories. Danhausen, however, distracted PAC long enough for the referee to notice PAC had a hammer. The referee removed the hammer, but PAC managed to get another one. Before he could strike, Cassidy instead hit the orange punch, then connected with another to score his first championship in the company.

The show ended with the rest of Best Friends, Trent Beretta and Chuck Taylor, hugging Cassidy as confetti fell.

PAC had held the All-Atlantic Championship since June, defeating Miro, Aleister Black, and Clark Connors in a four-way match to determine the first-ever champion at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. During his run, PAC defended the championship overseas in Europe. He also successfully defended the title at AEW’s All Out Zero Hour preshow, defeating a returning Kip Sabian.

AEW All-Atlantic title defense set for July OTT event

Posted on by Josh Nason

With PAC’s first title defense in the books Sunday, his next AEW All-Atlantic title defense is already scheduled as the inaugural champion will defend against LJ Cleary at OTT’s Poetry Slam on Friday, July 22nd in Smithfield, Dublin, Ireland.

PAC successfully defended the title for the first time Sunday, submitting Shota Umino in Revolution Pro Wrestling’s main event in Sheffield, UK. The match will be shown in its entirety this Tuesday on AEW Dark.

The Cleary match was announced last week with the caveat that if PAC remained champion after today, the title would be on the line. It’s assumed this match will also be on a future episode of Dark or Dark: Elevation.

The two were originally supposed to meet at OTT’s Scrappermania 6 but the show was canceled due to the pandemic.

PAC won the new title in a four-way over Miro, Malakai Black and Clark Connors at last month’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

PAC vs. Shota Umino All-Atlantic title match to air on AEW Dark

Posted on by Josh Nason

While the first-ever AEW All-Atlantic title defense won’t initially be on Dynamite or Rampage, PAC’s match against challenger Shota Umino will air on Tuesday’s edition of Dark.

The match will air in its entirety Tuesday with highlights airing on Wednesday’s Dynamite.

PAC is defending against Umino on this Sunday’s RevPro show in Sheffield, England. PAC became the inaugural champion at last month’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view, defeating Malakai Black, Miro and Clark Connors in a four-way.

The title is PAC’s first of any kind since joining AEW.

Umino was also on the card, competing in a trios match alongside Eddie Kingston and Wheeler Yuta against Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara and Minoru Suzuki. Umino has been on an excursion with RevPro since 2019.

The rest of the Dark lineup will either be announced Monday or Tuesday morning as is the norm. For Tuesdays, AEW is still using matches filmed at last month’s tapings at Orlando, Florida’s Universal Studios.

PAC to make first AEW All-Atlantic title defense for RevPro

Posted on by Ian Carey

The AEW All Atlantic Championship will be defended in Revolution Pro Wrestling. 

The promotion announced on Saturday that Pac will put his title on the line against Shota Umino at RevPro Live In Sheffield. The event takes place Sunday, July 10 from Sheffield, England. 

“BREAKING: @BASTARDPAC returns to RevPro NEXT SUNDAY in Sheffield. He will make his first defence of the @AEW All-Atlantic Championship against @Shooter_us,” the promotion wrote on Twitter. 

Pac won a tournament to determine the inaugural champion. He defeated Buddy Matthews in the opening round and qualified for the four-way finals against Miro, Malakai Black, and Clark Connors at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Pac then made Connors submit to the Brutalizer to win the belt. 

Umino has been on excursion from NJPW to RevPro since 2019. He won the promotion’s Revolution Rumble in 2020. He recently teamed with Eddie Kingston and Wheeler Yuta at Forbidden Door in a loss to Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, and Minoru Suzuki. 

PAC wins All-Atlantic Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door

PAC is the first-ever AEW All-Atlantic Champion. 

In a four-way match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, PAC defeated Miro, Malakai Black, and NJPW’s Clark Connors to become the first All-Atlantic Champion, using his Brutalizer submission to tap out Connors and claim victory. 

Miro seemed to have had the match won, but Black sprayed him with black mist, forcing him to give up the Game Over submission hold that Miro had applied on PAC. Black then tried a submission hold on Connors, but PAC broke it up with a Black Arrow. PAC then used the Brutalizer for the win. 

PAC, Miro, and Black survived the qualifying series that began on the June 8 AEW Dynamite to advance to the finals at Forbidden Door. Tomohiro Ishii won a tournament in Japan to earn the spot as NJPW’s representative in the match, but was scratched in the days leading up to the show with a knee injury. Connors then took Ishii’s place in the match. 

The victory is the first title win for PAC in AEW.

Miro defeated Ethan Page at AEW Dynamite Road Rager to advance to the inaugural All-Atlantic Championship match at Forbidden Door on June 26. 

With the victory, Miro becomes the second competitor to qualify for the four-way at Forbidden Door to crown the first All-Atlantic Champion. 

PAC defeated Buddy Matthews on last week’s Dynamite to qualify, while a Malakai Black vs. Penta Oscuro match on next week’s episode will determine the third entrant.

Posted on by Bryan Rose

AEW has announced a four-way match that will determine its first-ever All Atlantic Champion.

On tonight’s Dynamite, it was announced that a four-way match to crown the first All Atlantic Champion will take place at Forbidden Door on June 26 in Chicago. The first qualifying match took place tonight, with PAC defeating Buddy Matthews in the first qualifier.

Other qualifying matches will have Ethan Page facing Miro, Penta Oscuro facing Malakai Black, and a fourth qualifying match will feature participants from New Japan Pro Wrestling. The winners of these matches will qualify for the All-Atlantic Championship match at Forbidden Door.

NJPW on Twitter wrote that more information regarding NJPW’s participation will be determined at a later date.

Since its formation in 2019, AEW has had five championships: The AEW World Championship, the AEW Tag Team Championship, the AEW Women’s Championship, and the TBS and TNT Championships. With Tony Khan’s purchase of Ring of Honor earlier this year, ROH’s titles have also been defended on AEW programming.
