We&#8217;ll see soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/news\/2021\/01\/aew-planning-a-battle-of-the-belts-event\/\">Wrestling Inc<\/a>, All Elite Wrestling filed the &#8220;Battle of The Belts&#8221; trademark for general pro wrestling and merchandise use on January 18th.\u00a0There are no additional details around this concept or this event at this time.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of this trademark makes sense seeing as AEW has started a crossover storyline with Impact Wrestling. The story began with AEW World Champion Kenny Omega appearing on Impact television and then wrestling in the main event of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/01\/17\/1-16-impact-wrestling-hard-to-kill-ppv-report-kenny-omega-anderson-gallows-vs-swann-chris-sabin-moose-purrazzo-vs-valkyrie-sami-calihan-vs-eddie-edwards-more\/\">Impact&#8217;s Hard to Kill PPV<\/a> alongside the Impact World Tag Team Champions, The Good Brothers. This week Impact announced that Private Party would face The Good Brothers for their tag team titles at No Surrender.<\/p>\n<p><em>Heydorn&#8217;s Analysis: It&#8217;s pure speculation at this point, but this trademark could easily mean an Invasion-esque episode of television or PPV event between Impact Wrestling and AEW. The seeds are certainly planted given all the crossover we&#8217;ve seen from both companies. The crossover between both Impact and AEW worked for me when the angle was rooted in getting over Kenny Omega&#8217;s heel belt collector character. That fit, as it presented Omega as above the Impact stars and highlighted the notion that he&#8217;s the best in the world, can operate how he wants, and go where he wants. A head to head event between Impact and AEW puts both companies on a level of a playing field. To this point, I don&#8217;t see how that helps AEW. They are the bigger company and they need to be shooting up. Omega throwing his weight around on Impact is one thing. AEW &#8220;selling&#8221; for Impact up and down its card is something entirely different.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/01\/21\/first-match-for-aew-revolution-announced-w-heydorns-analysis\/\">First match for AEW Revolution announced (w\/ Heydorn\u2019s Analysis)<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1896038403\"><div id=\"pwtor-2427336351\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>AEW has filed a trademark on &#8220;Battle of the Belts.&#8221; Is this a special event?
