The real drop-off point was Moxley, big surprise that massive shitter ToD'd the belt, had to vacate after missing a defense and it was pingponged pointlessly after that.
AEW fans will tell you it meant something when Kenny and Ospreay traded it for it's last few reigns but it was literally just a trinket for AEW talent at that point and another bullet point on the checklist of Gedo letting Tony keep his balls on his nightstand.
