The rumours say 'yes'...

The Wrestling Observer are reporting that AEW still has plans to launch a second weekly TV show before the end of 2020.

Obviously, the ongoing global pandemic has changed company plans for most of the year, but Dave Meltzer says there's still a very good chance the new product will end up alongside Dynamite on TNT. What's more, the new hour-long show would likely be taped on Wednesday's alongside the flagship and then aired on another night of the week.

TNT seems plausible, but Meltzer notes there's also talk of putting the new program on another Turner-owned network or even the HBO Max streaming service owned by partners WarnerMedia.

AEW signed a four year extension with WarnerMedia in January for a cool $175 million. That called for the creation of a new TV show, but the health crisis put things on ice. It's understood that AEW and WarnerMedia remain interested in making that Dynamite complement a reality over the next few months.

Do you think AEW need another show? Currently, the promotion has Dynamite on TNT and runs episodes of Dark on their official YouTube channel.
