The World is All Elite

[Finishline]

Tony Khan changed the landscape of the business with All Elite Wrestling in 2019. Little did he know he would have the opportunity to buy Ring of Honor a few short years later. With the success of "All In" with Wembley and other ventures, he made an offer and purchased Impact Wrestling along with it. Between Dynamite, Collision, Rampage, ROH, and now Impact, Tony Khan decided to end Rampage and make these brands stick out. Here are the following layouts he's implementing:
- Dynamite will be the flagship brand on Wednesdays, featuring The Elite
- Collision will continue to be majority wrestling, featuring CM Punk and FTR
- ROH will be strictly developmental for the entirety of AEW
- Now known as "AEW Impact" will be a YouTube show, restoring it to its TNA days, with Jeff Jarrett and Sonjay Dutt helping book

In the week between All In and All Out, AEW released its official rosters, effective Monday, September 4 (following AEW All Out).

[Roy Mustang]

Looking forward to reading this though I am very sad we don't get any Local Hero Joe Hendry. Minus that I like the rosters overall and realized that I would actually want to see Bucks vs Subculture at some point in real life

 

[Deco90]

Very interesting concept dude. Good luck!

 

[Dubb]

Always excited for an AEW project and this one has a nice spin to it. Can’t wait!

 

[Finishline]

AEW has released match cards for this week's shows. It's interesting to note, some champions are assigned to one brand and competing on another. Bryan Alvarez reports from WON: champions, for now, are considered to travel across shows as AEW begins with a "soft brand split." This might be assisting in the termination of CM Punk's contract, as well.
