The recent AEW announcement relating to their move from TNT to TBS has got the wrestling world talking. The young company are certainly taking big strides into the wrestling world. Confident in their vision and unafraid of competition.
News of a new weekly show on Friday’s is further proof of their confidence in the AEW brand. They will have special events broadcast on TNT through the year running alongside the weekly shows and regular PPV’s.
There’s no news on when these shows will start. However, there is already one name likely to be used. AEW trademarked ‘Battle of the Belts’ back in January this year. Until now this name has not been used or mentioned. It stands to reason, therefore, that it will be used for one of the new events they mentioned in their announcement.
The name is a clever and quirky one that resembles names of events used by other organizations. However, with AEW’s openness to working with other companies, and belt swapping with them, the concept of a Battle of the Belts, suddenly takes on a whole new realm of possibilities.
AEW has already proven that they are not afraid to go all-in when it comes to embracing the creativity of wrestling. Battle of the Belts could soon become a fascinating event, whatever network or time of the year it appears.
