Tony Khan, the president of AEW, has teased a big announcement that he claims will be a “huge milestone” for the company. In an interview with SI.com, he revealed that he has been dreaming about this announcement for years and that it is “one of the most important announcements ever in AEW.”
Fightful’s paywall reports that the announcement has caused a buzz backstage in AEW, with talent speculating about what it could be. While the exact details are unknown, rumors are circulating that it could be related to a UK announcement or an upcoming Saturday show. However, these are just theories, and nothing has been confirmed yet.
One thing that has been ruled out is the return of CM Punk. While Khan and Punk have reportedly talked several times in recent months, it is unlikely that his return will be the big announcement.
Despite the speculation, fans and members of the AEW roster are eagerly awaiting the announcement. As Khan promised, it is expected to be earth-shattering and could have a significant impact on the future of AEW.
