AEW Superstar Miro debuts his new design of the TNT Championship on AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest (Night one) event with a white strap that differs from its traditional black strap in earlier versions.
The TNT Champion appeared at Fyter Fest backstage in which he cut a promo about his journey in AEW so far, and talked about how winning his championship has “changed” him internally.
While ending his promo he called himself ‘The Redeemer’ and showed off the new belt.

Miro claimed himself to be “God’s favorite champion” before unveiling the new design, and we can see a tinge of green color on the center part of the plate which signifies his Bulgarian heritage.

“The Best Man” won his first championship at AEW by defeated then TNT champion Darby Allin on an edition of AEW’s Dynamite two months back. Miro dominated the match before the bell rang, Allin threw everything he had in his arsenal.
Eventually, the referee called for the bell when he saw Miro locked Allin in his Game Over submission, bending his back in an unnatural position.
History of TNT Championship
The championship was first introduced at Double or Nothing 2020, back then it was unfinished because of the delay in production because of the ongoing pandemic COVID-19.

Cody Rhodes became the inaugural AEW TNT Champion when he defeated Lance Archer in the tournament final. He then brought up an improved version for the title with a red belt and gold plating.
The TNT Championship has seen several redesigns over its brief lifespan ever since it debuted back in 2020.

The biggest change to the title is the most recent one which Miro debuted on the latest edition of AEW Dynamite. The bright white strap and the gold plate in the middle closely resembles the previous version of WWE’s Intercontinental Championship, which ironically enough was introduced by Cody Rhodes.
