Who is the most dominant champion in AEW history?

[Canadian Dragon]

Kenny Omega : AEW Championship's longest reign record holder of almost full year at 346 Days with 6 defenses across 2 promotions with wins over Mox (2) , Rey Fenix, OC and Pac, Jungle Boy and Christian Cage.

Jon Moxley : 3 time AEW World Champion. champion with a total of 347 days as champion, one more than Kenny's single reign. Wins over Hangman, Kingston, Brodie Lee, Jericho, CM Punk, Danielson, Rush and more. The most active World Champion in AEW history.

Darby Allin - 2x TNT Champion for a combined 214 days as champion - more than Cody's 3 reigns combined AND holds the longest single reign at 186 days. The workhorse TNT champion and the winningest TNT champion. The man also beat Cody AND Samoa Joe for his first and second title wins respectively. Pretty impressive stuff!

Orange Cassidy - International Title Master - TWENTY TWO and counting. TWENTY TWO straight successful title defenses. Just...wow. So dominant the title was upgraded to a new name. Your current International Champion recently won over 20 other competitors defending his belt in a battle royal. Is defending his title near every week. Still has yet to lose.

Honorable mentions: Miro, Cody, Jericho (1st reign and ROH reign) , Sammy Guevarra (edged out by Darby much like Cody)

I did not include women because it's a two woman race between Shida and Jade​

It's OC and it's not close to me lol I'd probably have Moxley second tho especially with how he was like a monster killer early into his first one

 

[Alexa]

Bias aside, I went with Kenny because I remembered his more and he had matches I can remember, but Jon would be second

It's Moxley. OC's run is great and between him and PAC has made the International title on a higher level than the TNT title. But for me Mox had so many matches as the main champ it just is him for me. Also I would say he fought off more of the top tier talent than Omega did as champ.

I think when this type of discussion comes up I always say, how the fuck has TK not made Hangman one of people that can be put into this discussion. smdh.

This is a fair point that I didn't even know until I did this research for this thread. He had a lot of multi man matches to setup defenses etc, but not so many singles defenses in a full year. We obviously know why now (injuries) but they did a pretty good job at making him feel like a megaboss despite this.

 

[Storm Trooper]

Orange Cassidy is the clear and obvious answer. The other guys lost after having ten or less defenses. Orange is at 22 and hasn't lost.

He is the most dominant by a wide margin.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

technically OC has defeated over 40 men lol (20 single defenses, 1 3 way defense, 1 20 man defense)

Yea, I went with the Orange one. If we didn’t just include males, I give it to Jade, but of these choices, and tbh just of all the male reigns anyway, Orange is definitely IMO the correct choice. Dude has put on great matches, has a full on open door policy. You want to get a shot? Then all you gotta do is ask, and he’ll give you one.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

it's tough between Jade and Shida for me. Prob go Jade for pure wins, but Shida was champ and active for a year straight and cleaned out the div.

Shida probably would be my second choice with women, but it’s really close between them. Probably could make the argument Shida had tougher opponents.

 

[Alexa]

If it was women , I would go with Shidia considering she had the better matches and I could/can remember them

Also, sad no has mention that during Jon's regin it gave us the "LOL Jon bleeds in 5 minutes" meme
