“At one point, ‘Jungle Boy’ went over and picked up a f**king face-down world championship title. It was face down, it was a brown piece of leather,” Nash said, “It was not taken care of. If there’s no significance to that belt, it’s just a f**king prop.” 

Nash drew the treatment of the AEW World Championship within the build to the Double or Nothing “Four Pillars” title match in stark contrast to how WWE has treated its new World Heavyweight Championship. Nash went so far as to call the two companies’ treatments of their titles “exact opposite” from one another. 

The World Heavyweight Champion in WWE was recently crowned at Night of Champions when Seth Rollins and A.J. Styles came to blows, with Rollins prevailing and cementing his place as the inaugural champion. Nash highlighted that the brief build-up between the two men was centered all around the belt, and who is worthy of the belt.
