New Era
After a difficult 2022, with injuries, suspensions, arrests and more, AEW is looking to turn over a new leaf in 2023.
Appearing on the Sports Guys Talk Wrestling podcast, AEW President Tony Khan addressed the new look for the show.
“It’s a sports-based presentation and that’s what we always go for. It’s a great pro wrestling show and we wanted to change the set to reflect a new era, and I think it’s going to be a great look. It’s a great set.”
Fans of the current AEW roster won’t have to worry too much about the fate of the in-ring action, which will remain unchanged according to Khan.
“It’s still going to be the same great wrestling with new matches and new stories and a lot to look forward to.”
