AEW & ROH head Tony Khan has previously said publicly there has been more demand for additional AEW programming on TV.

According to a report by Mat Men's Andrew Zarian, it appears Khan is about to find out if that is true.

On Saturday's edition of Mat Men, Zarian reported that AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery are closing in on a deal to add a third AEW show to the schedule. Similar to Rampage, this would be an hour-long broadcast.

Zarian didn't know when the new show would be officially announced, but said to expect that news to come within the next month.

While the official particulars are unknown, Zarian recently tweeted a hint that led people to believe it would be on Saturdays at 6:05 PM -- the previous day and time of WCW Saturday Night on TBS. He could not confirm that, however.

If the deal is completed, the show will join Dynamite on Wednesdays and Rampage on Fridays. AEW is also launching their first-ever reality series this Wednesday called All Access after Dynamite.

Maybe they'll do Dynamite on Wednesday, and then tape Rampage/Saturday Night on Thursday or Friday, thus having 2 shows a week? Cause lord knows if they do all 3 shows at one taping (along with Dark Elevation) fuck me they're crazy. AEW shows are long enough as is.

Yeah when we were talking in the chat about it, I was very curious about the taping schedule too, I think live Rampage/Taped Saturday show on Fridays is the way to go personally. That also means they can tape a tad bit more Dark on Wednesdays to leave Universal exclusively for ROH

Exactly. Wednesday is Elevation/Dynamite, 2nd show is Dark/Rampage/Show 3 (cut Dark to 1 hour) Friday.

I also like the Saturday thing cause it can be where they air Zero hour for PPVs when they're Saturdays.

Oh that's a good point, it can be a TV pre-show like how Sunday night heat used to be
