While AEW recently announced the impending launch of AEW All Access, there now comes word that Tony Khan's promotion is on the brink on finalizing a deal for a third weekly wrestling TV show.

Speaking on the latest episode of the Mat Men podcast (via the Wrestling Observer), Andrew Zarian detailed how AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery are close to agreeing a deal for a new AEW show. This offering would be a one-hour broadcast, and while Zarian could not confirm it, there is a belief that the show could air on Saturday night, potentially in the same 6:05pm TBS slot that was reserved for WCW Saturday Night back in the day.

It was noted that an official announcement of this new show could be made within the next month.

At present, AEW currently has Dynamite on Wednesdays and Rampage on Fridays, with YouTube housing new episodes of Dark: Elevation on Mondays and Dark on Tuesdays. As alluded to, AEW All Access - a reality show that will peak behind the scenes of the company and its talents - will premiere immediately after Dynamite on 29 March.
