5 Possible Huge AEW Announcements By Tony Khan

This past Wednesday AEW president Tony Khan revealed that he is going to make yet another big announcement on next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.

Since then speculation has, of course, run wild over social media and while the real reason for this announcement might be locked in already, it might also lead to something else.

With pro wrestling, you just never know. The announcement could be something entirely different and the expectation could be delivered as well on the same night.

All Elite Wrestling seemingly is in desperate need of a shot in the arm and the first Tony Khan Announcement of 2024 could bring just that.

So let’s enter the speculation station and see what could happen next week.

5. The Signing Of Kazuchika Okada

While currently believed to be on the fence to decide whether his future lies with WWE or AEW, perhaps the biggest free agent currently out there has already made up his mind in secret.

Since his departure from his longtime home New Japan Pro Wrestling, the wrestling world is desperate to learn where the master of the Rainmaker ends up.

Will it be in WWE, a place he has never been before, and his best friend Shinsuke Nakamura is enjoying a healthy push.

Or will it be AEW, where he already has had his fair share of matches?

Tony Khan could shock the world and announce Okada’s full-time signing just months after he already secured Will Ospreay before WWE ever could.

4. A New Collaboration With WBD

All Elite Wrestling is yet to secure a new long-term TV deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.

However, the companies apparently enjoy a great relationship that has extended into “brand integration” before.

Imagine Jeff Jarrett competing in a match dedicated to Joker 2, Dune 2, or Godzilla vs. Kong? I am sure everyone wants to see that, so why not book Double J in yet another match to promote another WBD property?

This could help them to reach a new TV deal with WBD.

3. The Return Of AEW Dark

AEW reintroduced the rankings this past week and what do you need for them to work?

Yes, it is wins. Going forward Tony Khan needs to give his talent some wins before he can make them challenge for a championship.

This is what AEW Dark was for. Giving talent work every week and some wins under their belt in order to climb up in the rankings.

It seems like there is some kind of necessity now to bring back AEW Dark and he huge announcement could tell us what Dark would be like in 2024.

2. AEW Streaming Deal

We already talked about TV Deals and potential returns of AEW Shows. But what about streaming? AEW has outsourced its content to various partners across the world, including Triller TV (fka Fite) and Bleacher report.

But there is no collective way to not only livestream AEW content but also access their entire library, including the Ring Of Honor content.

It is all somewhere, but not together like the upcoming deal between WWE and Netflix is going to be.

Maybe AEW has found a partner that is going to stream all of the AEW content so you can rewatch Jeff Jarrett’s most glorious moments inside the elite ring.

1. The Signing Of Mercedes Mone

You probably saw this coming. The most likely announcement is most likely going to be Mercedes Mone.

Much like Okada both companies fought hard for her but recent reports suggest that Mone decided to be All Elite.

This makes sense since she appeared during AEW’s All In London and has many more new and fresh opponents in AEW than in WWE.

The AEW women’s division has no shortage of talent, the issue has always been how they’re booked.

A signing as large as Mercedes Mone has the ability to single handedly change that, with Tony Khan likely to make the former Sasha Banks one of the company’s highest earners.

It remains to be seen how fruitful the move will be for Mone, but unlike in WWE she is at least probably guaranteed to be positioned as the top female star in the company by far.

A signing announcement and potential debut at Revolution seems the likeliest of all scenarios and takes our top spot with ease.
