5 Things Tony Khan's "Major" AEW Announcement Could Be

3. An AEW Streaming Service

While $4.99 per month will get you access to AEW Plus on FITE, one natural progression for All Elite Wrestling at some point down the line is to develop its own integrated streaming service to house main AEW programming and additional content.

In reality, such a service is likely a good few years away from happening, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to rule out this being part of Tony Khan's upcoming announcement.

FITE is great, but one gripe many have with the service is that there's no app for certain brands of smart TVs or gaming systems that allows for content to be watched in all its glory on your TV screen. Sure, a Fire Stick can come in handy on that front, yet some potential FITE subscribers are put off by how there's not as much ease of access as the WWE Network, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc.

Granted, not all organisations have the vast resources and time in the field as the likes of WWE Network and Netflix, but that still doesn't take away from the fact that AEW and FITE would have more eyes on them if there was an app that was more widely accessible.

All episodes of Dynamite, Rampage, Dark, Dark: Elevation and company PPVs are archived on FITE, but an all-out AEW-owned streaming service would offer the opportunity to create so much more unique non-in-ring content.
