<p>Current TNT Champion and AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes doesn’t believe in “midcard titles”.</p>



<p>Cody made this declaration in a Twitter exchange with a fan who questioned his pride in holding the TNT championship.</p>



<p>Cody had Tweeted about how proud he had been to successfully defend his TNT title during the most recent episode of Dynamite where the newly completed AEW TNT Championship was revealed.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“She’s a looker alright!” said Cody, referring to the TNT Championship belt. “My goal is to make it the most important and coveted belt of all time.”</p></blockquote>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I’m seriously obsessed with this thing. I’ve never really wanted a replica title before, but if <a href="https://twitter.com/CodyRhodes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CodyRhodes</a> ever leaves it in a limo while at a steakhouse I’m def stealing it. <a href="https://t.co/oNijw75Qxq">pic.twitter.com/oNijw75Qxq</a></p>&mdash; Mike Killam (@MikeKillam) <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeKillam/status/1294710988693020679?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 15, 2020</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>In response to that Tweet, a fan asked Cody if the World Championship shouldn’t be “more important”. The fan seemed to be implying that Cody shouldn’t be so concerned with the TNT Championship but should be gunning for the “top prize”.</p>



<p>In response, Cody said that it was who wore a belt that defined it.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“I don’t believe in “Midcard” titles,” declared Rhodes.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Man/woman wearing any belt defines it, not the other way around.<br><br>I don’t believe in “Mid card” titles.</p>&mdash; Cody (@CodyRhodes) <a href="https://twitter.com/CodyRhodes/status/1294720708317192193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 15, 2020</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>Rhodes won the TNT Championship at the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view on May 23 after defeating Lance Archer to become the inaugural champion.</p>



<p>Mike Tyson then presented the title to Cody after the match. Since then, he has been defending the title weekly in open challenges from both AEW wrestlers and guest challengers from the independent scene. Cody&#8217;s last title defense was against Scorpio Sky, a few days ago.</p>
