All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan promised fans that he'd make an "important announcement" during tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite, and while the premiere of a new AEW show is certainly a big deal, fans were left somewhat disappointed that it wasn't something a little more exciting.
AEW All Access is set to premiere on TBS next month. The unscripted show will follow some of the company’s biggest stars, including Adam Cole, Dr. Britt Baker, Sammy Guevara, Tay Conti, The Young Bucks, Saraya, Wardlow, and Eddie Kingston, week-to-week as they seek to remain at the top of the card while also exploring rivalries and building towards major AEW events and pay-per-views.
“We’re always looking for new ways to engage with fans and give them unique access to our incredible talent,” Khan said. “With the new ‘AEW: All Access’ series, they’ll have a chance to peek behind the curtain and into the lives of their favorite wrestlers like never before. To show the human side of some of these larger-than-life figures will give fans a rare perspective about who these wrestlers are when the cameras aren’t typically on.”
“AEW has such an amazingly loyal and dedicated fan base that brings in more than 4 million viewers to TBS every Wednesday night,” added Jason Sarlanis, president of Turner Networks, ID, & HLN, linear and streaming. “With ‘All Access,’ we are bringing that incredible audience a whole new way to experience the wrestling universe they love. We have a powerful partnership with Tony Khan and AEW. With this new series we are expanding the franchise in a way that invites viewers inside the world of wrestling like never before.”
In related news that's sure to make any pro-wrestling fan happy, Adam Cole also announced that he'd be making his in-ring return in March after being on the shelf with an injury for the past few months.
