AEW
At AEW Grand Slam France, Darby Allin will defend the TNT Championship against Kyle Fletcher.
Since regaining the title, Allin has been determined to bring back the TNT Title Open Challenge and will not back down from any contender wanting his gold.
Following Grand Slam France, there could be any number of stars who will be next in line for the title.
Here are five potential next TNT Championship challengers after AEW Grand Slam France.
Kevin Knight
At AEW All In London 2026, Darby Allin defeated Kevin Knight in a Falls Count Anywhere Match to win the TNT Championship.
Since then, “The Jet” has aligned with Kyle Fletcher to form a tag team.
However, Knight has made it clear that he wants to regain the gold that he defended more than anyone in the title’s history.
After his partner gets a shot at AEW Grand Slam France, Knight might want to get his rematch for the TNT Title next.
Tommaso Ciampa
In January 2026, Tommaso Ciampa arrived in All Elite Wrestling and went on to defeat Mark Briscoe to win the TNT Championship.
This reign was short-lived as Ciampa went on to lose the title after just 11 days.
“The Psycho Killer” has been on the hunt for gold ever since then and made it clear that he will do anything to become a champion again.
Based on his history with both Darby Allin and Kyle Fletcher, Ciampa would be a logical next challenger for the TNT Championship coming out of AEW Grand Slam France.
Daniel Garcia
Daniel Garcia has been picking up some momentum as of late.
After consecutive wins in multi-man action, Garcia might set his sights back on championship gold.
The Death Riders member might want to give the group some gold again following the passing of PAC.
Being a former TNT Champion, Garcia should be back in the mix following the Darby Allin vs. Kyle Fletcher title bout at AEW Grand Slam France.
Austin Creed
On the October 3 episode of AEW Collision, Kofi defeated Lee Moriarty.
This marked the first time that either member of The New Level had been in a singles match.
That might open the door for Austin Creed to also try his hand in singles competition next.
Going after the TNT Championship, Creed could continue The New Level’s goal of capturing more gold in All Elite Wrestling.
“Hangman” Adam Page
Following his loss to MJF in a Texas Death Match at AEW Revolution 2026, “Hangman” Adam Page can no longer challenge for the AEW World Title.
After making his return in the summer, Page made it clear that he wanted to get his hands on the other championships in the company.
Following his loss for the AEW World Trios Championships at All Out 2026, it might be time for Page to go after singles titles again.
Wanting a crack at the TNT Title, “Hangman” could position himself as the next challenger for Darby Allin vs. Kyle Fletcher after AEW Grand Slam France.
