3 Things Cody Rhodes revealed about the upcoming weekly AEW show to Chris Van Vliet 

We are only days away from AEW's Double or Nothing, a show that is all set to revolutionize what we know as the professional wrestling industry forever. But following the show, the promotion has big plans to become a household name thanks to their deal with TNT.

Years after WCW shut shop, professional wrestling is back on TNT with the weekly AEW show. Little was known about the show in itself before the interview with Van Vliet happened.

Cody Rhodes shed a lot of light on the show to come and I must say that as a fan of what is known as professional wrestling, I couldn't be more excited for the upcoming weekly show. Many believe that this is exactly the motivation WWE needs to pull up their socks as well.

Without further ado, let me delve into the finer points of the interview and shed some light on the show, as revealed by Cody Rhodes.

#3 It will be a two-hour long show

Van Vliet asked Rhodes during the course of the interview how long the upcoming weekly show will potentially be. This was Cody's response:

It's really likely that the show's going to be two hours. That's the sweet spot. In terms of the schedule, we'll find out in the next few months for sure. It'll be at a great spot. To be on prime time, on TNT. They've really set us up.

This is a very interesting development because as all of us wrestling fans know, three hours of RAW can be trying for anyone to watch. A lot of fans consider SmackDown Live to be a significantly better show because it's only two hours long.

Let's hope that all of the roster gets a chance to be showcased to the best of their ability. Sometimes, that does not happen on SmackDown Live.

#2 It will be a show that travels from city to city

During the interview, Van Vliet asks Cody Rhodes if AEW will have a home base like TNA had the Impact Zone. This is Cody Rhodes' reply:

Oh no man. This is a touring brand. We're going, I mean, no pun intended, we're really going all in on the concept of it. And it's so special. Because we're not doing a Live Event system. So, when we come, we're bringing our absolute best from match quality to star quality.

This is great news because anyone who's attended WWE Live Events knows that beyond the usual entrances and the occasional good match, there's sometimes very little to look forward to. The concept of a touring brand translates to energetic crowds wherever AEW decides to go.

So far, the company has done everything right. This could be the start of something very special.

#1 The episodes will be aired live

As much as I love watching NXT and even Impact Wrestling, one of the biggest problems with both brands is the fact that the shows are taped. And if you are a part of internet forums, however hard you try it is sometimes impossible to avoid spoilers.

Van Vliet asked Rhodes if the AEW weekly television show will be live or not. Rhodes was a little reluctant to answer, but eventually did confess the following:

I feel like I'm giving away a lot, but did Tony already say...two hours, live!

The infrastructure to broadcast a live show is pretty expensive and it is certainly an indication of just how 'all in' AEW is with regard to their television product. Tony Khan is sparing no expense to make sure that AEW has the potential to become the most watched promotion on the planet.

Best of luck to All Elite Wrestling for the future.
