FTW TITLE UPDATE

By Mike Johnson on 2020-09-03 21:20:00

During AEW President Tony Khan's media call today, he discussed using the FTW Championship originally introduced in the original ECW by Taz, which is currently held by Brian Cage in AEW as part of a potential future AEW programming, noting he had ideas that were unique for it and was considering a "pilot" that would include that championship.

Khan's comments seemed to bring up a new round of questions as to how AEW could use the championship.  While PWInsider.com has covered this before,  ECW never held the rights to the FTW title, which was designed and created by Taz in 1998.  Taz actually paid to have the championship created.

PWInsider.com can confirm that Taz owns the copyright on the title design and the name of the FTW belt, so he controls that intellectual property.
