The next 'Battle of the Belts' event from All Elite Wrestling could be a matter of weeks away, despite not being confirmed yet by the promotion.
Battle of the Belts is a one-hour special presented by AEW in which championship matches are the key. The show has also seen titles defended for AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor Wrestling, which Tony Khan acquired in March of 2022.
While not advertised, the next Battle of the Belts event could be just 12 days away. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful notes that the next Battle of the Belts event is listed on TNT's schedule for January 13, at 10 PM EST. This is the same day of TNA Hard to Kill, which will be the promotion's relaunch after years as IMPACT Wrestling.
The first Battle of the Belts event took place in January of 2022 at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. Since then, a total of eight Battle of the Belts events have taken place. The most recent was in October of 2023 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee.
Despite the name, title changes have been a rarity at AEW's Battle of the Belts events. Over the two years of events, only two matches have seen a new champion be crowned. At the first Battle of the Belts event, Sammy Guevara defeated Dustin Rhodes to win the Interim AEW TNT Championship. The second and most recent title change at Battle of the Belts also involved Guevara and saw the Spanish God win the TNT Championship from Scorpio Sky at Battle of the Belts 2 in April 2022.
