We are just a few days away from AEW All Out. Building up to the PPV, AEW CEO Tony Khan hosted a special media conference call to hype up the event.

“AEW Dark will not be brought in as the third hour, and that it will remain on YouTube. The new show will be launched in the next year. A lot of work left to be done, market testing, etc.”

Currently, one AEW show is good enough to challenge the WWE. Vince McMahon certainly has something to worry about with AEW planning another show.
