Nic Nemeth Weighs In On AEW’s New Title & potential Brand Split
AEW’s introduction of a new title has sparked discussion, and veteran wrestler Nic Nemeth recently shared his thoughts on how to maximize its impact. He believes a key to success lies in how the championship is presented and defended.
Nemeth highlighted the benefits of a clear distinction between AEW’s core programs, “Dynamite” and “Collision.” A healthy rivalry, similar to what existed between “WWE Raw” and “WWE SmackDown,” could elevate the importance of each show’s respective championships.
He also addressed the concept of a “traveling” title, noting that defending it across different promotions isn’t entirely new. WWE has already been employing a similar strategy, notably following their acquisition of AAA.
Here’s how Nemeth envisions the title truly gaining traction:
* Consistent Defense: The championship needs to be defended regularly – ideally weekly – in various companies.
* Fresh Matchups: Frequent defenses create opportunities for unique and unexpected pairings.
* Cross-Promotional Appeal: This approach introduces fans to new stars and promotions they might not normally watch.
* Increased Interest: Regular,compelling title defenses build anticipation and excitement.
“If this becomes a piece that goes every couple of weeks, it’s being defended in a different company with different matchups, then now you’ve created a little bit of more interest in it,” Nemeth explained. “You’re introducing to new stars.You’re watching pay-per-views you thought you’d never watch - that’s win-win for wrestling fans.”
He believes this consistent exposure is crucial. Simply talking about the title or relying on big show appearances won’t be enough. You need consistent action to build genuine fan investment.
The inaugural champion will be crowned at Full gear this month in a Casino Gauntlet match. This format promises a chaotic and exciting start for the new championship,setting the stage for its future.
Ultimately, Nemeth’s outlook underscores the importance of strategic presentation and consistent action in establishing a new title’s credibility and appeal within the competitive world of professional wrestling. It’s about more than just the championship itself; it’s about the stories it tells and the opportunities it creates for both established stars and emerging talent.
