AEW made a big backstage hire last week, when it was announced that former WWE name Michael Mansury had signed with AEW.
Mansury’s hire was made with the intention of shaking up the look of AEW’s television shows in the new year.
Well, AEW president Tony Khan revealed to TV Insider that there will indeed be a new look to the shows in 2023, though he was careful not to let too much spill.
He said:
“I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag necessarily, especially so close to the big day. But at the start of 2023, we’re going to open the year on Wednesday, January 4 with the first Dynamite in Seattle, marking a full year of Dynamite on TBS.
“We’ll definitely have a new look, to say the least. I’m excited about it. I think it’s a nice thing to present to the fans, but frankly, I’ve found more so than ever, the more you talk about these things. When you build them up, you don’t want to create expectations that are impossible. I will say the set will be beautiful though.
“The look of Rampage will also be different. This will affect the way people view AEW on Wednesdays and Fridays in terms of presentation with the set and the show with the same great action.”
The first episode of AEW Dynamite in the new year will be New Year’s Smash on January 4, 2023.
