Original: A number of AEW stars have talked about having a significant TV deal on the table which will change the game for the wrestling industry in the last few months.
However so far the company hadn’t announced anything officially so the fans were still skeptical about these ‘game-changing’ TV deals of the promotion.
Though we got the first taste of what was coming last week when a report came out revealing that the company will be having a 2-hour weekly program which will be broadcasted on TNT.
And while the compelete details of their new wrestling show are still unavailable, the channel confirmed the news of the company’s broadcast via the following tweet:
We’re back in the wrestling business! #AEW @AEWrestling pic.twitter.com/1DVRLRdQgd

With this major confirmation, it’s safe to say that WWE is going to have at least some competition from the newly formed promotion and they’ll have to watch out for the Tony Khan owned promotion.
