4 big announcements AEW & TNT could make soon

The secondary Twitter account of AEW, AEWonTNT recently teased a major announcement on its handle.

The account stated that a major news is about to come anytime soon, and it has left the fans in a state of excitement. Many are speculating on what could be the news that's being promised to be delivered before All Out. AEW's first event, "Double Or Nothing", was a major hit, with a jam-packed card, an excellent brawl between Cody Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes, and Jon Moxley's shocking debut at the end of the show.

The coverage the event garnered resulted in All Elite Wrestling's All Out PPV getting sold out in 15 minutes. The show will be headlined by Chris Jericho vs Adam Page for the AEW World title, and Jon Moxley vs Kenny Omega. As for the big news, let's look at 4 possible announcements AEW and TNT could make.

#4 A new title belt

The All Elite Wrestling World title was unveiled at Double Or Nothing, by none other than WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart. Soon after, it was announced that another major title would be unveiled at AEW All Out: the AEW Women's World title belt.

Now that AEW is keen on kicking off its weekly action, maybe we are in for another unveiling. For decades on end, one thing hasn't changed when it comes to a promotion's weekly shows. Be it the United States title in WCW, the Intercontinental title in WWE, or the X-Division title in Impact Wrestling, every promotion has had a mid-card title that's generally used to elevate a Superstar to the main event. The announcement that we are in for, could very well be about a mid-card belt. A TV title that WCW used to have back in the day could certainly work here.

#3 An AEW videogame

The gaming industry is one of the biggest and most profitable businesses in the world, with major games raking in billions of dollars in revenue. Every major promotion makes it a point to generate revenue through this incredibly profitable source. Legendary wrestling games like WWE Here Comes The Pain, WWE 2K13, and many others have done huge numbers among the gaming community.

In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, The Young Bucks discussed the possibility of AEW getting its own video game. During the interview, the Bucks stated that a video game is being discussed, but were immediately told by someone off-screen to not spill the beans. This gave rise to speculation on AEW working on a game, and the announcement could possibly for the same. A videogame would be a nice source of revenue for the promotion, and would certainly result in more coverage for AEW among the gamers' community.

#2 Wednesday Night Dynamite

Around a month ago, AEW filed to trademark the term “Wednesday Night Dynamite”. This could only mean one thing, and that's AEW's weekly show could be almost on the horizon, and it would air on Wednesdays.

Earlier, AEW had trademarked the name “Tuesday Night Dynamite” in late 2018, but nothing came of it. It now seems like AEW's weekly show will air on Wednesdays, the same night that WWE NXT airs. Here's what Dave Meltzer had to say about it:

It now looks like the start date for TV will be 10/2 since the company has filed for a trademark on the name Wednesday Night Dynamite. There are still meetings going on regarding television, battle strategies, and a variety of ideas from the TNT side but Wednesday is pretty much the day unless something changes (and has been the favorite to be the day for months) with 8-10 p.m. being currently the most likely time slot.

The upcoming news that AEW is about to make could very well be the launch of its weekly show, “Wednesday Night Dynamite”.

#1 A big signing

Will the rumors finally come to rest in a few days and the fans will be treated to what they have been clamoring for since a long time? After Jon Moxley's debut at Double Or Nothing, Tony Khan stated in the post-show media scrum that he wanted CM Punk to be a part of AEW, and that they discussed on it. Khan also referred to Punk as a good friend of his.

Punk has refuted fan claims of him joining AEW and has even gone on to make fun of it on several occasions. This definitely doesn't discount the possibility of him eventually coming on board. Goldust had lashed out at the fans for 'spreading rumors' about his WWE departure back in March, but he eventually did leave the company and came to AEW. There's no reason something similar can't happen with Punk.
