AEW TNT Championship Vacant, Qualifiers to be Announced

During the May 29th episode of AEW Dynamite, it was revealed that Adam Copeland has been stripped of the TNT Championship. EVPs Matthew and Nicholas Jackson of The Young Bucks made the announcement.

Matthew Jackson blamed himself for Copeland's injury because he told Adam to "break a leg" before the match.

The Elite were going to hand the TNT Championship to Jack Perry, but Christopher Daniels made his way out and revealed he was named an interim EVP by Tony Khan in place of Kenny Omega. He then announced that qualifiers would be held with the finalists getting a title shot in a ladder match at Forbidden Door 2024.

As seen in the clip above, The Elite tried to attack Daniels but they were cut off by The Acclaimed before any physicality occurred.

Meanwhile for Copeland, there's no timetable on when the former "Edge" in WWE will be able to make his way back to an AEW ring.
