Going by recent interviews, its basically AEW paying homage to the classic NWA and WCW TV title with the idea of it being more like WWE's IC belt from back in the day in terms of status. Not something strictly for the mid-card but on paper would have enough prestige to act as a stepping stone title.
Cody being the first champ and only current singles member of the Elite is meant to build up that initial prestige.
