List of AEW TNT Champions

The AEW TNT Championship is a men's professional wrestling television championship created and promoted by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Established on March 30, 2020, it is named after the TNT television network, which currently airs AEW's weekly programs, Collision and Rampage, as well as the promotion's Battle of the Belts quarterly television specials.

Current champion Jack Perry

Overall, there have been 23 reigns between 12 champions and one vacancy. Cody Rhodes, then known simply as Cody, was the inaugural champion. He is also tied with Sammy Guevara and Wardlow for the most reigns at three each. Darby Allin's first reign is the longest at 186 days and he also has the longest combined reign at 214 days, while Adam Copeland's first reign is the shortest at 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Allin is also the youngest champion at the age of 27, while Copeland is the oldest at 50 years, 142 days.

The current champion is Jack Perry, who is in his first reign. He won the vacant title by defeating Konosuke Takeshita, Mark Briscoe, Dante Martin, Lio Rush, and El Phantasmo in a ladder match at Forbidden Door on June 30, 2024; previous champion Adam Copeland was stripped of the title due to injury.
