Christian Cage is the new TNT Champion. For real, this time.
Christian Cage defeated Darby Allin and Luchasaurus to become the new AEW TNT Champion.
Even though he had been calling himself the TNT Champion since the day Luchasaurus captured the title, June 17, 2023, he didn't win the championship until he pinned his Right Hand of Destruction during AEW Saturday Collision on September 23.
Christian Cage has done it and now can officially call himself the TNT Champion!

Ultimately, Luchasaurus wasn't happy about it but did fall in line and celebrated with Christian begrudgingly.
In a backstage promo, Christian joked about being the Undisputed Champion now and will defend the championship against Darby Allin in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match at AEW WrestleDream.
No rest for the NEW TNT Champion Christian Cage who will now have to defend the TNT Title next Sunday at #AEWWrestleDream LIVE on PPV against Darby Allin in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match!
