The first Friday of 2023 comes to wrestling fans in a big way with two huge shows in the form of AEW Rampage and immediately after that AEW Battle of the Belts V. Three of the richest prizes in All Elite Wrestling are up for grabs this Friday night, and it will certainly be an hour of television that the #AllElite faithful can sink their teeth into. Without further ado, here’s a preview of AEW Battle of the Belts V card. Let’s run it down.

- AEW World Tag Team Championship Match – No Holds Barred: The Acclaimed (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal
- TBS Championship Match: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Skye Blue
- AEW All-Atlantic Championship Match: Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Kip Sabian
All-Out War for the All-Atlantic Gold
Ever since he returned to AEW last August, Kip Sabian has set his sights on winning the AEW All-Atlantic Championship, even taking former titleholder PAC to his absolute limit. Sabian has been hellbent on getting gold, and he gets another opportunity this Friday night as he goes up against current champion Orange Cassidy.
“Freshly Squeezed” has taken on all challengers and has come out impressively on top each time out. With eight title defenses under his belt, Cassidy will be one hard-out, even for a talent like Kip Sabian. Will Kip Sabian finally reach the pinnacle of AEW? Or will Orange Cassidy notch his ninth successful title defense?
Everything on the Line
The first-ever and still reigning TBS Champion Jade Cargill has been absolutely undeniable, thus far. Cargill is a spotless 46-0 record for her whole AEW career heading into the new year. Just this week on AEW Dynamite, Jade would go 47-0 after she and Red Velvet defeated former “Baddie” Kiera Hogan, and her challenger this Friday night Skye Blue.
Skye is still in the infancy stages of her career. That said, Blue is an amazing competitor with a lot to look forward to in her burgeoning career. This Friday night she has the opportunity of a lifetime to dethrone Jade as the reigning TBS Champion and end a mythical undefeated streak.
It’s Cargill vs. Skye; streak and title on the line It all goes down on the fifth edition of AEW Battle of the Belts V live only on TNT!
