I think the North American title should have been higher and you guys forgot the NXT Women's title.
Quick correction with the Raw Women's Title: Nikki cashed in MITB to win it from Charlotte, then Charlotte won it back, and then Becky got it when they did that weird brand swap thing with the belts
When charlotte throws it
@@yousufseedat7736 by mistake.
@@yousufseedat7736 Becky threw the title
@@alidk5701 lol
Suggestion: Instead of taking the lineage of prior years into consideration making it difficult to rank, make it a tier list of "How they feel in 2022." Annual tier list maybe. Love the videos!
Mandy Rose’s reign of terror doesn’t deserve this kind of disrespect
It sucks and no one has watched a second of it
I think you guys forgot the NXT women champion
Just like everyone else
should've also done AJPW titles, really tap into Ross' area of expertise
That'll be it's own list lol
That's a slippery slope, once you get started on adding other promotions you might quickly end up talking about DDT, and then they have to decide where to place a title that Jack the Jobber held twice, and that may just create endless drama at Cultaholic ;-)
You forgot the NXT womens championship who should go up there in the best…. Ever since it was introduced 2013 it’s only had 13 different reigns with the shortest reign being 63 days but every reign averaging over 100 days… It’s had banger matches and like her or not Mandy rose has been portrayed as an incredible do anything I can to keep this title champion… People don’t talk about how well this championship has been booked and prestigious it’s legacy already is
No, That's why they didn't mention it XD. Only feminist losers act like that division is entertaining it's meh 90% of the time.
I was just about to say this. The NXT Women’s Championship is arguably the most prestigious championship, that or the UK Championship. Even with Mandy Rose as champion, the NXT Women’s belt has not dropped in value at all.
Never realised that. Interesting facts thats pretty cool. Thanks bro
Nobody has ever given a fuck about it that’s why
It's incredible to see The US Title and the IC title so high up thanks to some actual solid booking and having the right person holding them.
Ftw belt can get in the bin.
Y'all forgot the NXT women's championship
The what?
@@spiderdad4247 the NXT women’s championship
@@kipdaedricartifact which title?
@@twitch8703 clearly is not important 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
@@kipdaedricartifact I have a mug my kids gave me that says "world's greatest dad" so.....
(For contrast)
Sorry, I just can't agree with the WWE tag titles (which has given us banger after banger in 2022 - and credible champions as well) in the same tier as the AEW women's title (the bathroom break title for AEW). AEW is great, WWE is bad and all that... But that sticks out like a sore thumb.
The AEW Womens title is definetly not a bathroom break title
@@kayel4663 Oh I totally want to believe otherwise. Sadly as long as the champion gets 15 second segments of watching the TV per dynamite, it won't change.
@@kayel4663 bruh what feud amd matches have lit up the world after Shida with consistency? Or at least made people to be interested in aew women's division. The best booked women's champion is Jade.
@@kayel4663 because of the horrible booking and lack of TV time it's a justified comment I think
@@kayel4663 That's true.
Their entire division is.
How can the FTW title be ranked so high when it's not even formally recognized by it's own company?
And where's the NXT Women's Championship??
Let’s go! Congrats on your first Tier List Gary Fraser :D Can’t wait to watch this one :)
(Before watching the full video) the universal championship is the most prestigious championship in the industry rn as it comes with an added advantage of who will end Roman's historic run with the title.
(After watching the video) Universal championship is still the biggest most prestigious title in the industry.
Usually don't comment on anything but all I'm going to say is if Big E's lack luster WWE championship reign brings down the WWE championship's ranking then Hangman's long boring lack luster reign should have definitely taken the AEW championship reign down 🤷🏿♂️
If we are talking prestige, none of the AEW titles have been around long enough to be in the top tier. Maybe even the top two tiers.
OG Gary RUclipsr and New Gary RUclipsr, what a treat for all. XD
Charlotte took it off of ASH (RW) then Becky took off Bianca(SDW) Then Charlotte and Becky did a title swap because they got draft to the opposite brands 😭
Comments about the unsanctioned FTW belt were ridiculous. Team Taz might be the biggest wasted opportunity thus far in AEW and consider the ground that covers.
Not even team Taz, Brian Cage not mattering is their biggest waste. Dude was on top of the Indy pile after Lucha Underground
But he hasn't mattered at all
Carmello unifying the NA title and the cruiserweight title against Rodrick Strong was such a great match
Damn Straight (not gay) Melo Don't Miss!
Absolutely crazy mental gymnastics going on here to rank the AEW title anywhere near the WWE title. A belt that’s been around for 50+ years and been held by people such as Bruno Sammartino, Buddy Rogers, Stan Staziak, Ivan Koloff, Bob Backlund, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, Pedro Morales, Ric Flair, Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker, Sgt Slaughter, Ultimate Warrior, The Iron Sheikh, Superstar Billy Graham, Mick Foley, Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar, Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, Randy Orton, Batista, Triple H, John Cena, Kofi Kingston, Drew McIntyte, Bobby Lashley, Big E, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Jinder Mahal, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, AJ Styles, Sheamus, Big Show, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, Alberto Del Rio, Jeff Hardy, RVD, JBL, Syd, Diesel, Yokozuna, has an unrecognised reign by Antonio Inoki and Ted DiBiase and was even won by Vince McMahon himself, kinda has to come out first here.
Here is where I think you have it wrong. One the universal championship started on raw and was supposed to be the main belt. Problem was the fans dismissed the big red belt and why it got bumped to smack down. Didn’t really gain traction until Roman won it. By default and fan recognition alone that changes those two up. Also the tag belts and the world titles are currently being defended as one. They almost deserve a special recognition even though they will most likely be split again soon. Being together automatically boost them to the top of the prestige tier in my opinion. The awe, undisputed and tag undisputed are kind or a 1a,b,c type deal truthfully. Other than that great show!
I think that while Jade has a good look, she still isn't a good worker, and the only reason that belt exists is to give her something since she isn't ready for the world women's championship yet. It's just Jade's belt, I don't see it having much use or prestige once she loses it. I also still think that Jade isn't good at long matches. She's improving in the ring, yes, but her long matches are never very good...
The NXT NA Championship is WAY more prestigious than the AEW Women's Championship, which at this point is as prestigious as an empty can of peeled tomatoes.
24/7 belt is more prestigious. Also gets more TV time
TNT title used to be good until the whole Sammy-Sky feud happened
Wardlow bringing it back
As I sit here watching this 5 months after it was posted. The fact the 24/7 title went in the bin was amazing foreshadowing 💯💯
There is no title more prestigious than the WWE world heavyweight title when everyone thinks of being a wrestler they think of winning that title in the main event of wrestlemania also AEW world title would be third on the list maybe 4th behind the I.C title
I don't feel the Hardcore title was much better than the 24/7 title honestly, no championship is ever going to be viewed as prestigious when often changing hands multiple times per night
Having Ross move the AEW tag titles up a rank even after his hand has left the mouse...?
The unmitigated arrogance!
for 21:54 they've been building up tony d'angelo and I see him as breakers next feud after tyler bate and worlds collide.
Honestly, I could see either Breakker retaining or Bate winning but whomever loses will be on Raw shortly thereafter.
Assuming it's a title unification match.
@@theragnarokmachine2251 yeah, I'd assume bate would win sending bron to the main roster considering bate Just won his title
I just realized how similar the intro for this video sounds similar to "studio" by schoolboy q
That was a very good showing from Gary RUclips. Well. Done.
Why did you rate the FTW title and not the ROH title?
Ackshually, it isn't a world title at all, I dont believe it's even been defended outside of America. Isn't it supposed to be defended on 3 continents for it to be deemed a WORLD title? I thought AEW cared about pro wrestling lore? I'm sure the cultaholic historians took this into consideration
WALTER AND FABIAN AICHNER AND THE TNT BELT IS LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY
They could have put Impact wrestling titles on here as well
They'd need to have like 10-12 tiers then.
@@joeyhoser impact has 5 championship titles they never show impact love and Impact been hitting it out the park despite not being on a top tv network and the internet community treating it like it still doing bad
Their Knockout Title in the best, X-Division in alright, World Title and World Tag in could be better and Woman Tag and Digital Media in the bin.
But if they don't revitalize their Main Event scene in the next 6 months, even the World Title could get in the bin. It lost so much credibility since Moose lost it.
And njpw
@@iLLiDaN30 what are you talking about Impact world championship was featured on Retirement match defended against Jacob Fatu that's really credible Josh is doing a great job as the champion. The problem is that most was such a good heel it's hard to follow up with any one else.
I love how the title theme is the Great Fairy Fountain reversed
and now we Ross trying to put the AEW Tag titles in alright because he thinks the Young Bucks winning them is a bad thing
Bigger LOL
yeah easily his worst take... The Bucks steal every ppv with 5 star quality matches. They will lose Match 2 against FTR (probably at Full Gear) and then maybe he'll stop being a crybaby about it
Would be fun to see a video like this every couple months to see what changed
Nice to see Gary RUclips make his debut!
This tier last lacks nxt uk titles
nxt uk championship is the best of the best rn
On a different but related topic, the WWE and Universal belts are desperately needing a redesign, not only does the Rhinestone logo look cheep but the to belts should look different, more so than just the colour of the strap
They do it like that so they can make sure people know their brand everywhere, it sucks, but that's why they do it.
@@Raytheman581 okay? But does that work? Nobody is like “oh wwe? The company with the big blue belt with the W?”
@@thebigragu9952 Hell if I know, but I know that's why they do it. With a W you know its WWE's belt and not another companies I guess.
People like to bash WWE having Roman being a part time champion. Silver lining though, WALTER is main eventing with, and making the IC title feel important. That isn't to say that he wouldn't have been doing that schtick had Roman been there every week, but, it allowed the IC title to main event. Which helped significantly.
the aew women's belt is as "prestigious" as Carmelo Anthony's NA championship where he has banger after banger and oozing charisma and star power and as a confident heel to point out where their women's champion gets one snippet of tv time that the women already get. Okay.
Raw Womens championship is top tier. There's never really been a slip.
Smackdown womens title is one step lower.
No other belt reaches the raw women's. They've been given to part timers, joke champions, vacated etc etc
What always baffles me regarding the Raw tag team titles is that they technically follow the lineage of the WWE tag titles that were first introduced on Smackdown in the 2002 brand split and then they were unified with the World Tag Team titles and then when we came around to the 2016 draft, they were just rebranded as the Raw titles. Bizarre.
Also, did they miss the NXT Women's championship in this tier list?
The All Atlantic.... could be worse? No, it belongs in the bin, hell I would make it its own category, set it on fire. The right person won it, but there are bigger conceptual issues at play.
1 - An all Atlantic tournament featuring Japanese/Chinese wrestlers from Japan/China, which last I checked isn't part of the Atlantic. It would be a different story if one of them was from New York, or Maine.
2 - The belt itself has a Japanese and Chinese flag on it. Once again, not Atlantic regions. Meanwhile the Netherlands isn't on the belt.
As a worldly belt it works fine, but it shouldn't be called the All Atlantic title. Call it the Pan-Am Championship. That fixes all the problems I have with it.
The tbs title is worthless it has never had a single good match for it
weeks later, they’re starting to build up the women’s tag titles a bit more, which is definitely something
imo the NA title is above most of alright ever since Melo won it. The match quality and the booking around it has just been better.
Not a single universe where the AEW title is even close to the Universal/WH, no matter which one you prefer. Even IC/US are above in terms of prestige and relevance xd, dont overdose on copium pls I dont want you to get sick
That AEW world title will always look the best over mox's shoulder.
PAC literally hasn’t missed a week of dynamite since he won the belt. He has actually appeared or been in a backstage segment almost every single week with the all Atlantic championship you’re wrong.
I'm shocked this video isn't 7 hours long
Thx for another great video lads 👏🔥👏
What about the NXT Women's title?
You forgot NXT Women's Championship, NXT UK Championship, NXT UK Women's Championship, NXT UK Tag Team Championship and NXT UK Heritage Cup.
Y'all forgot the NXT women's title
One of my biggest issues with the introduction of the Universal Champion was the loss of the lineage. The WWE Title has retained that history, the Universal doesn't mean anything to me. It's the same with the IWGP, why woul you remove the lineage from that belt? My hope is that NJPW will come ot their senses, as will Triple H and bring back the big gold WHC belt. Unless i'ts a new company, What's the point of winning a belt with no history, why should i care.
They aren't gonna bring back that belt because they want their belts branded with the logo. They give out replica belts to celeberities and the like. I'd wish the gold belt would come back but its not, its a lost cause at this point.
@@Raytheman581 I think we've seen over the last few weeks that anything can change now. Even if they did want the branding, they could redesign the belt a little. I also imagine HHH has more of an attachment to the Gold boy. Plus, they don't appear to be using the "WWE universe" moniker anymore, they're saying fans again.
I'm just saying don't necessarily rule it out.
Plus it's not the belt itself I want back, it's the lineage. Championships with history mean far more than new ones.
While championships have to start somewhere so building a history is always tricky, I just don’t like the Universal title simply cos of the name of it. It’s just cringe and meaningless. Plus it can’t be bigger than the WWE title but they have tried to make it feel that way. There should be one main world title in a company, never two
@@stevenjohn6785 I don't mind there being 2 World titles, but only if they actually commit to the brand split. 2 distinct different shows with unique rosters and titles. There should be no crossover. If they can't do that then i agree, only one championship.
Crazy that Cultaholic is exclusively employed by guys named Gary RUclips, what are the odds right?
Poor Kacy and Kayden. Absolutely forgotten about lol.
@@meirnissim5927 does anyone really care lol
They didn't include NXT Womens because there wasn't a tier above The Best. Give Mandy the respect she deserves 👏
Y'all forgot the NXT Women's title
Ross talks the way I wish I talked .. he’s , his talky is good
I know it’s fresh but why no ROH? Big dic Tony, Joe and FTR are keeping those belts relevant. Also nxt uk would of been a good addition. Especially given this weeks news.
AEW World Championship design is still coolest
THAT CENA SPINNING TITLE THAT BEST OF ALL TIME
AEW tag team should be The Best
FTW title should get in the bin that title is meaningless
Just in name alone, the TNT and TBS titles are Get in the Bin for me. Just terrible names that make it hard to take seriously.
The NXT Women’s championship not being on here…
Agree with almost everything except with the AEW title being the best in the industry but besides that good video
Well it is right now, by far.
Thanks to to triple h makeing the i.c title look better again.
Active championship wow!!
The new US title is beautiful….. shame about the rest of Raw and Smackdown championships
nope
What do you mean nope?
Agreed
agreed, I have the replica version, it is a magnificent belt
I’m hoping for a new WWE championship with a prestigious design
I would put the NXT NA Championship higher but that's just me lol
DK if it was mentioned in the video but no NXT womens championship?
Here from the future Kenny and The Bucks won the trios title
Having an absent world champion, Reigns, it really gives more room for the U.S. and Int-Cont'l Championships to be contested for and given more respect.
The U.S. and Int-Cont'l belts are quite honestly my favorite belts.
I would like to see the WWE, Universal, Raw and Smackdown Women's get new looks so they don't all look the same. Even the tag belts should look different from their counterparts.
I agree that the 24/7 Championship has to go.
Heck, bring back the 2002-2010 version of the WWE Tag Team Championship belts with some slight tweaks.
I agree with all these takes except the Reigns take! He has defended it more than enough time and carried the company since and even during covid and the horrible thunderdome Era lol
The WWE has two other U.S Titles that are inactive, the Detroit U.S title and the Toronto based U.S title. Their current U.S title was acquired from the WCW. It might be fun the re-activate the other two in order to eventually have a unification tournament.
The All-Atlantic Championship is low-ranked because it's doing exactly what it was meant to do, being featured overseas in other countries and other promotions to basically spread the name of AEW, instead of being on Dynamite which is the exact opposite of what it's supposed to be used for? I'ma put Ross and that arrogant youth Fraser in the bin for being entertaining, since that's what they're supposed to be doing but by their own logic that's somehow bad.
IC title hasn't been defended on PPV for 18 months and goes into second off top
LOL
u guys fell off, putting AEW world title above WWE title seriously?
with the way the wwe title had been booked b4 reigns won it at mania ig i can understand
Impact Tittles 👀
Gunther loses to Sheamus to kick off their feud.
What about the UK championships??
Exactly
SHOULD BE THE 1ST TBH.
The nxt uk title is the best looking title in the wwe
Change my mind
@@therandom20000 AGREED
@@therandom20000 Not gonna disagree with you, but it will not be an active title for much longer.
Do an nxt 2.0 roster ranking
smackdown women’s should be lovely lovely lovely
Rip just about bearable
Fraser Poitier
Naw the USO’s should be at the top
Tbs should be higher than raw woman
The AEW title is nowhere near as prestigious as the WWE.
What planet are you two on?
I would say it use to be like 20 odd years ago but not anymore so.i can see why aew title is seen as such.
Joke channel
the AEW belt as the top of ALL titles?? psssh predictable. its booking the past couple months has been terrible imo.
They really said Mandy Rose? No idea who that is
Didn't talk about Mandy Rose?
They keep saying the prestige which makes wwe main titles over any aew championship... both men titles, ic and us, women's titles all have been around too long for any aew title to be more prestigious... I understand they are saying importance now so just stop saying prestige... easy fix
Do you know the meaning of prestige? Lol, at this current time aew main belt is more prestige, wwe treat there belts even the main ones as toys, aew try and give the belt meaning and the people who hold it meaning they make the belt feel important when in the last 20 plus years wwe has not
They disrespected Hayes in this
I agree with everything! Except the AEW championship. I believe the top 4 are Universal then AEW then Raw then Heavyweight. I truly believe the Universal for the past 2 years is THE most prestigious championship in the industry and the AEW is aswell but slightly under the Universal.
Only complain is that the FTW belt should be at the bottom of the list, don’t give me that ecw nonsense with taz, that belt has no lineage or prestige, I compare it to the beer money belt from TNA.
What happened to the NXT Women’s Title, lol, no where to be found here, and also the AEW title is no where close to the Best, the Universal Title is.
