AEW International Championship is a secondary championship for the male wrestlers of All Elite Wrestling. It was initially named AEW All-Atlantic Championship. Although it was named after the Atlantic, the title focuses on the worldwide fans of the promotion. The title was subsequently renamed AEW International Championship to align better with its motive. Pac was the inaugural champion of the title. He won the title after defeating Clark Connors, Miro, and Malakai Black at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door.

Besides All Elite Wrestling, the title has also been defended in promotions such as Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro Wrestling) and Over the Top wrestling promotion. Further, in AEW, the title has been defended against wrestlers that belong to New Japan Pro Wrestling and AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor.

AEW International Championship History

The AEW International Championship was announced on the June 8, 2022, episode of Dynamite as the AEW All-Atlantic Championship. While the name was centered around the Atlantic Ocean, the title was based on the International AEW fans. The first champion was crowned at AEW Forbidden Door in a Four-Way match where PAC defeated Miro, Malakai Black, and Clark Connors.

As the motto of the title, it was announced that the All-Atlantic Championship will be defended on different promotions all across the world. After Orange Cassidy won the title, it was eventually renamed to the AEW International Championship to streamline better with the title's motto. The title was briefly renamed to AEW American Championship when MJF was the champion, before reverting to its name after he lost it.
