AEW is close to getting a third weekly television show on one of the networks owned by Warner Bros Discovery.
AEW has a TV deal with WBD for Dynamite on TBS and Rampage on TNT while their streaming shows, AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation, air on YouTube. AEW is also launching its reality series called All Access after Dynamite this Wednesday.
Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast reported that AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery are closing in on a deal to add a third AEW show, similar to Rampage, indicating a one-hour broadcast.
Zarian added that while he didn’t know when AEW and Warner would announce the show, the news is expected to come out within the next month.
Zarian recently tweeted a hint for fans regarding the show days ago, later leading to speculation after the report that it may air on Saturdays at 6:05 PM. This was the same night and time slot WCW Saturday Night aired on TBS.
If there was ever a day or time for new programming…

It should be noted that All Elite Wrestling filed to trademark “AEW Collision” for entertainment services with the United States Patent and Trademark Office with the description noting that it was the name of a “continuing program about wrestling accessible by radio, television, satellite, audio, video and computer networks.”
It’s possible this is the name of the Saturday show.
