10 Major Unanswered Questions About AEW
10. What Happened With ITV?
It may never be fully revealed what on earth happened between Cody's aggrandising over the weekend of Double Or Nothing and the reveal - precisely a week before AEW Dynamite's debut - that the TNT wouldn't be airing live for free on the terrestrial network as planned.
Pay-per-month/episode options through Fite TV were explained on Twitter by Tony Khan in an effort to stem the frustration and fury brewing on the platform, but it'd be naive to assume he dreamt this up entirely when he saw just how feisty it was getting in the bowels of his Twitter mentions.
Had AEW had the Fite deal tabled all along, hence their radio silence with ITV? Was a total collapse of a communication between the station and whomever was sent to seal the deal? Had ITV in fact expressed a reduced interest for some time, resulting in AEW trying to craft this as a Plan B rather than the cake-and-eat-it roll out of the steaming options and a pathetically pointless highlight show days removed from the original airing.
How did it fail? Who was responsible? What made them think simply delaying it would help? No answers here, but The Khans and Cody would probably rather we make like Roddy Piper and change the questions.
