Shawn Spears took to Twitter to knock the idea of AEW having interim titles after the AEW crowned a new Women’s Interim World Champion.
At Saturday’s AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event, Jamie Hayter beat Toni Storm to become the new champ. Storm became the Interim Women’s World Champion after the current champ Thunder Rosa announced that she could not compete against Storm at AEW All Out due to a back injury.
Storm has questioned the interim status as of late, but AEW President Tony Khan doesn’t like the idea of stripping an injured champion. AEW introduced an interim World Title when CM Punk was injured, and Jon Moxley became the interim champ before they did a title unification bout.
Spears wrote the following on Twitter: “This “interim” stuff is bullsh*t. You’re either the Champion, or you’re not.”
Spears’ last AEW match happened on the October 13th edition of Rampage when he and FTR beat The Embassy (Bishop Kaun, Brian Cage & Toa Liona).
