After Double Or Nothing, AEW isn’t merely an indie promotion anymore. They have all the momentum in the world behind them.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Cody Rhodes revealed the perfect length of time that AEW is vying for regarding their upcoming TV show on TNT. Here is what he said:
“It’s really likely the show is going to be 2 hours. That’s the sweet spot. In terms of the schedule we’ll find out probably within the next few months for sure and it will be in a great spot to be in prime time on TNT, they’ve really set us up. Now you’ve got to go deliver the bell to bells and the sports centric.”
“Another thing that is really cool is you’ll be able to find out per market where we’re going to be all around, this isn’t going to be be something that is just stationed in one spot. This is a touring brand. We’re really, no pun intended, going all in on the concept of it and it’s so special because we aren’t doing a live event system so when we come we’re bringing our absolute best from match quality to star quality. I feel like I’m giving away a lot here. Did Tony already say it? It’s 2 hours, live.”
Everyone at AEW worked to the bone in order to make Double Or Nothing the success it was and garner as much attention as possible. It brought back the interest of a certain section of pro wrestling fans who had given up on it altogether.
If all goes well, AEW on TNT will be two hours every week and will hopefully be a live broadcast as well. It will be interesting to see what AEW does next and how the wrestling world will change.
