As many of you know by now, AEW President Tony Khan will be making a “big announcement” on this week’s episode of Dynamite.
There have been some rumors that the announcement will be that NJPW and AEW will be holding a Supershow in Chicago, IL in June.
According to a report from Dave Meltzer, those rumors are likely true because the company is not denying them. Additionally, there has been some talk of a streaming deal or distribution for ROH content.
Meltzer said,
“I heard the rumors of a New Japan/AEW show and the only thing I can say is I asked and it wasn’t denied. It wasn’t confirmed and they’re not going to confirm to me the surprise. So, to me that leaves that one on the table as a potential surprise because if they are not doing that show, I believe I would have been told ‘we’re not doing that show.’ So, I think there’s smoke to that fire.
“The streaming deal, we know that he’s working on that. Obviously, he’s got to work on a distribution deal for Ring of Honor. They need new distribution to keep it going. So, I think that timing wise that makes the most sense of a story.”
