The title originally debuted in May at AEW Double or Nothing where Cody defeated Lance Archer to become the inaugural champion. Mike Tyson then presented the title to Cody after the match.
At the time it was noted the gold plating on the title wasn't complete and the delay was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cody is set to defend the title against Scorpio Sky on tonight's AEW Dynamite.
