All September long, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2019-2020 season. Today, we’re checking in with Cody Rhodes and All Elite Wrestling, a fledgling wrestling promotion with big names behind it that’s about to unleash a new weekly show on TNT, premiering Wednesday, October 2. AEW on TNT will feature the likes of Rhodes, Jon Moxley (formerly Dean Ambrose of WWE), Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, newly-crowned AEW Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, and an exciting exhibition of stars on the rise.
AEW has its work cut out for it. Not that there isn’t an intense hunger among fans for an alternative to WWE, which still monopolizes the industry in most regards – but all eyes will be on AEW’s product to see if it’s truly the fed that can give the giant a run for its mega-money.
