AEW has produced several champions over the years. Some of them have moved the needle and made the company what it is today. However, there are some title reigns that are best forgotten and left in the past. In 2025, the Jacksonville-based company has produced several titleholders who have been able to captivate audiences around the world. In this article, we will take a look at the two best and two worst AEW champions in 2025.#4. Worst: Jon Moxley as AEW World ChampionJon Moxley has been the face of AEW since the early days of the company. Therefore, he is a multi-time World champion. Mox won the World Title from Bryan Danielson in 2024 and carried it into the new year. However, this title reign from Mox might've been his worst one yet.Mox failed to do anything significant with the title, and almost every title defence felt the same. Therefore, his matches as champion also felt repetitive and boring. Mox cut the same promos with the same intensity, his matches were filled with unnecessary violence, and Death Riders' interference made his bouts predictable. In a title reign that lasted 273 days, the best moment happened at All In: Texas when Mox lost the belt to Hangman Adam Page. Therefore, this is one title reign that fans would want to forget.#3. Best: Mercedes Mone as TBS ChampionMercedes Mone has been the reigning TBS Champion for 556 days. During this time, she has defended the title against several challengers. From Lacey Lane to Kris Statlander, Mone has defended the title against everyone, and although she emerged victorious during her matches, she has done her part to put over her opponents.Many of her challengers have emerged from their match with Mone looking like a million bucks. A good example of this is Kris Statlander, who challenged for the title at Worlds End 2024. After an incredible match, Statlander showcased that she was ready to move to the next level, and this could've been the driving force that made Tony Khan look at her as the next face of the women's division. Therefore, The CEO is one of the best AEW champions of 2025.#2. Worst: Dustin Rhodes as TNT ChampionDustin Rhodes shocked the world when he won the TNT Championship at All In: Texas. This was a significant win for The Natural. However, his title reign was less than significant.The former WWE star held the TNT Championship for 19 days. During this time, he had only one successful title defense before losing the title to Kyle Fletcher. Dustin's title reign felt pointless as he looked like a transitional champion. Although an injury was the reason Tony Khan booked him to lose the title, this still makes The Natural the worst AEW champion in 2025.#1. Best: Toni Storm as AEW Women's World ChampionToni Storm is undoubtedly the most entertaining star on the AEW roster. Her run as Women's World Champion was just as entertaining. After winning the title at Grand Slam Australia this year, Toni Storm defended the title against some of the best names in the business, like Mariah May, Megan Bayne, Mina Shirakawa, Athena, and even Mercedes Mone.Additionally, Toni Storm captivated audiences with her character work and promos that were both funny and entertaining. The fact that she was also able to incorporate parts of her gimmick into her matches made for some amazing storytelling. Toni showcased why people fell in love with wrestling to begin with, and for that, she is the best AEW champion in 2025.
