So a show called battle of the belts has a match where a belt isn't being battled for.

Good because these effects are corny as fuck for most of them.

If the challenger wins they get a shot at the champion but if they lose they are ineligible for a title shot for the duration of the champions reign.
Fightful Select noted the following about Ospreay’s Dynamite promo…
“We’re told he ran the promo by several people backstage, and that at one point a shot at CM Punk was considered after Punk’s tattoo line last week. However, considering the nature of AEW Dynamite, many felt that was overkill and they decided against that.”
Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.comalso stated the following during Wrestling Observer Radio…
“Okay, so here’s the basic deal. On Wednesday night, when I saw it because I didn’t know it was coming. Although I knew a lot of background of it right after it happened, I did not know it was coming. It was, ‘Oh, God, Tony.’ Again, everything on that show. It’s still all credit and all blame at the end of the day does go to Tony, that’s the reality. But it was very much this was not Tony Khan going, ‘I can’t stand WWE. I just want to devote two segments to just running those assholes down.’ Right. It’s like, that didn’t happen. In fact, one of them, Will Ospreay’s lines about Punk. They told him no, don’t do it, because it would be overkill. But he was he was not happy with [Pau] Levesque, he felt that they negotiated, he negotiated with them in very good faith never said anything bad about them at all. And felt, you know, just like, yeah, he took, the higher money offer. And the offer that allowed him which was very important him to live in England, when he talked to both sides.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)

Health wise I'm glad he's free of pain and healed. But I'm definitely disappointed that it could be a possibility we won't see him in the ring again. Was lookin forward to see if HHH would do right by him and give E a proper title reign

That may be a good reason to keep it exclusive to one brand (Smackdown).
