The finalized TNT championship was presented to Cody yesterday prior to the start of Dynamite, four months after it was initially introduced by All Elite Wrestling.
The title that has been used on television was unfinished, with the company blaming the COVID-19 pandemic for the delay in completing the title.
The finished design now has the words TNT in gold rather than black and the gold trims made a huge difference in how the belt looks.
Cody successfully retained the title last night after he beat Scorpio Sky in the latest open challenge.
You can see AEW referee Paul Turner present Cody with the new title backstage below.
