All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has quickly risen to become a major player in the world of professional wrestling since its founding in 2019 by Tony Khan and a group of wrestlers. As WWE’s biggest competitor in North America, AEW boasts a roster of talented performers and multiple championships that add to the excitement of its programming.
Among the prestigious titles in AEW is the AEW World Title, currently held by “Hangman” Adam Page, and the women’s world champion, Kris Statlander. Recently, a new championship was announced on Dynamite: The AEW National Champion. The inaugural champion will be crowned in a Casino Gauntlet Match at Full Gear 2025, set to take place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on November 22.
Several contenders are vying for the honor of becoming the first AEW National Champion, but three stand out as top candidates for the title.
Starting with #3, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, better known as MJF, is a rising star in the wrestling world. With a history of championships under his belt, MJF’s patriotic persona could make him a perfect fit for the National Title. His heel antics and in-ring skills would undoubtedly make him a formidable champion.
Next up at #2 is Kenny Omega, a veteran wrestler with a decorated career. As the only Grand Slam winner in AEW, Omega’s experience and talent make him a strong contender for the National Championship. Whether as a face or a heel, Omega’s reign as champion promises to be electrifying.
Finally, at #1, Ricochet emerges as a dark horse for the National Title. Despite not yet capturing a title in AEW, Ricochet’s incredible athleticism and in-ring prowess make him a standout performer. Winning the National Championship could be the boost his career needs to reach new heights in the company.
As fans eagerly await the crowning of the inaugural AEW National Champion, the speculation and excitement surrounding the new title continue to grow. With each of these three contenders bringing their unique strengths and qualities to the table, the future of the championship looks promising.
