AEW Tag Team Titles Pay Tribute To Jerry Lynn With Side Plates
AEW Title easter egg.
Prior to the premiere of AEW Dynamite on TNT, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes showed off the All Elite Wrestling Tag Team Championships alongside Tony Khan and Chris Jericho. The day after the event, Belt Fan Dan provided fans with a more detailed look at the straps.

I like the design as a 3 plate belt over 5. Supposedly nameplates for the entire roster were requested. pic.twitter.com/IWQLnSaG9T

Fans immediately noticed the cradle piledriver and sleeper hold side plates. Matt Jackson took to social media to confirm that the cradle piledriver side plate is a tribute to AEW coach and ECW legend Jerry Lynn.
Check out the pile-driver on one of the side plates, dedicated to one of @AEWrestling’s great coaches @itsjerrylynn. https://t.co/J6UUrpuNfp pic.twitter.com/MjIneYNLpD

No word on if the sleeper hold side plate pays tribute to anyone.
