The debut of AEW will be the first wrestling show TNT has aired since World Championship Wrestling had their final episode in 2001.
AEW was announced earlier this year as a new wrestling company formed by Tony Khan and the members of The Elite faction of Bullet Club before the group left New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Since the company announced key members of their roster like Chris Jericho, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes and more, speculation has run rampant amongst wrestling fans regarding where AEW would end up being broadcast.
The following is an excerpt from the press release WarnerMedia sent regarding their plans for their new wrestling program:
WarnerMedia aired several wrestling programs over the years, but WCW Monday Nitro was their most critically-acclaimed wrestling show and launched the Monday Night Wars against WWE.
WCW Monday Nitro debuted in September 1994 and would remain on the station until March 26, 2001, after WWE bought the rights to the company.
