Adam Cole Wins AEW TNT Championship AEW Dynasty – Adam Cole is the new AEW TNT Champion after a hard-fought victory over Daniel Garcia at AEW Dynasty 2025. This win not only gives Cole his first reign with the TNT Championship but also brings closure to a competitive rivalry that had seen two prior controversial conclusions.
The bout came with unique stipulations: no time limit and a strict ban on outside interference. These terms were put in place due to the events of their previous matches—first, when Shane Taylor Promotions (Shawn Dean, Carlie Bravo, and Lee Moriarty) disrupted their initial encounter, and second, when a rematch ended in a 20-minute time limit draw. AEW officials made it clear that there would be a definitive winner this time, and the two delivered.
In front of a red-hot Philadelphia crowd, both men brought their best. Daniel Garcia, who entered the match as TNT Champion, looked sharp and determined throughout, showcasing the grit and technique that defined his 135-day reign. Garcia had successfully defended the title seven times, establishing himself as a credible champion and rising star in AEW’s stacked midcard.
However, Adam Cole was laser-focused, and his game plan left no room for error. The former NXT Champion turned AEW star methodically worked through Garcia’s offense before turning up the pace in the final moments. Cole nailed a Panama Sunrise that rocked the champion, followed immediately by his devastating Boom knee strike. The combination proved too much for Garcia, who was pinned cleanly at the center of the ring. After the match, Daniel Garcia extended his hand to Cole, who accepted the gesture.
The victory adds a new chapter to Adam Cole’s AEW legacy. Since debuting in the promotion in 2021, Cole has been involved in major storylines but hadn’t held AEW championship gold—until now. Winning the TNT title places him firmly back in the spotlight and opens the door for fresh rivalries and title defenses moving forward.
With Garcia’s reign officially ended at 135 days, the TNT Championship picture resets under Cole’s leadership. Questions now turn to who will step up to challenge the new champion. Will Garcia seek a rematch, or will a new contender emerge from AEW’s deep talent pool?
Fans can expect fallout and potential new challengers to emerge in the coming weeks, but for now, Adam Cole stands tall as the new face of the TNT division.
