Backstage chatter on AEW's announement
Added 2023-04-05 21:34:25 +0000 UTCTony Khan's latest big announcement is upon us, and the AEW locker room is talking.
As of now, the exact announcement isn't known, but some plans in the works and upcoming announcements were speculated by talent. Please be aware this is backstage chatter from members of the locker room.
An upcoming UK announcement is one of the popular theories. Within the AEW roster, OVO Arena Wembley in the Summer has picked up a lot of steam as a real possibility. There were actually a couple of members at the top of the roster pushing for that.
Another announcement rumored has been an upcoming Saturday show. We've long heard chatter that there could be some roster parity in that sense. We haven't heard what something like that would do to AEW Rampage or ROH, but we've certainly heard it discussed.
There were also ROH talent hoping that the brand would start traveling a bit more soon, but those that we spoke to believed that was more wishful thinking, and wouldn't be related to tonight's announcement.
We haven't heard that CM Punk returning would be a possible announcement, but we do know that Tony Khan and Punk have talked many times in recent months.

The name on the venue does read Wembley... but the venue is actually WEMBLEY STADIUM which means that we're going All In BABY

2023-04-05 23:56:35 +0000 UTCi dont really see it being a new signing since it would be more impactfull for them to just show up to a huge pop

2023-04-05 23:38:37 +0000 UTCI’m from America, and tbh I would be very disappointed if it’s that. It’s great for UK fans and it’s good for the company. But it doesn’t make me excited.

2023-04-05 23:35:55 +0000 UTCbut I mean overall on this show.. like he can show up after ftr win belts at the end of dynamite
2023-04-05 23:12:51 +0000 UTCTony said he’s been waiting years for this so I don’t think it’s punk

2023-04-05 23:11:28 +0000 UTCNone of this seems groundbreaking. He really needs to deliver on these huge announcements.
2023-04-05 23:10:10 +0000 UTCAny chance it's Jay White?

2023-04-05 22:58:23 +0000 UTCPunk should return soon now. This is time to cover up lost momentum thanks to vince

2023-04-05 22:33:10 +0000 UTCwhat's the chance of Punk returning tonight?
2023-04-05 22:22:26 +0000 UTCI hope it's about the game releasing but I doubt it -.- coming soon...

2023-04-05 22:19:56 +0000 UTCYep, and it SHOULD happen but would people from America really view that as a major announcement alone?

2023-04-05 22:10:17 +0000 UTCDon’t think it has to do with the UK, he mentioned that fans around the world would be excited about this.

2023-04-05 21:48:44 +0000 UTCA UK show would be awesome. Can't wait to see whatever the announcement is. AEW has a huge opportunity to really plant their flag for the next year because of Vince coming back.
