Tonight, AEW presents a taped Battle of the Belts III special from Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI.
Announced for tonight’s one-hour special:
– Claudio Castagnoli defends the ROH Championship against Konosuke Takeshita
– Wardlow defends the TNT Championship against Jay Lethal
– Thunder Rosa defends the AEW Women’s Championship against Jamie Hayter
AEW Battle of the Belts III airs tonight on TNT at 7pm CT.
Smith’s Sentiment: This is certainly a good card for a one-hour special. My problem with Battle of the Belts though is that it seems more like an afterthought rather than a true special. These should be live two-hour specials, that actually have build to them. More like early Clash of the Champions. Still, it will be a good hour of wrestling.
