All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was founded in 2018 by Jacksonville Jaguars co-owner Tony Khan, Cody Rhodes, Nick & Matt Jackson and Kenny Omega. Currently based in Jacksonville, Florida. (Note: Cody Rhodes left the promotion in February 2022) It has quickly grown to become the #2 promotion in North America behind WWE. The promotion generally runs 3 shows each week-Dynamite, which airs LIVE, Rampage, which is usually TAPED after Dynamite and Collision, which usually airs LIVE. They do one PPV every quarter (usually in February, May, August or September and November).
In early 2023 AEW owner Tony Khan purchased the Ring OF Honor promotion and now operates it under the AEW banner as a separate promotion, but ROH matches are sometimes featured on AEW TV/PPVs.
How to watch:
Dynamite-AEW’s flagship program airs every Wednesday night at 8 PM ET/PT on TBS (LIVE on the east coast, TAPED on the west coast). Each show is 2 hours long. The show is currently hosted by Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Excalibur. Also available on the Bleacher Report mobile app and TBS app (participating cable/satellite subscription required) TNT will also air 4 special PPV-quality events each year.
Rampage-TNT (Fridays at 10 PM ET/PT. Usually TAPED but sometimes LIVE). Also available on the Bleacher report app and TNT app (participating cable/satellite subscription required).
Collision-TNT (Saturdays at 8 PM ET/PT. Usually LIVE but sometimes TAPED). Also available on the TNT app (participating cable/satellite subscription required).
In Canada: TSN
Outside US & Canada: TrillerTV (formerly FITE) ($4.99 US monthly subscription). Also available internationally on aewplus.com (not available in US)
Pay-per-views are available in the US via major cable providers and on Bleacher Report. Also on TrillerTV outside North America. (Bleacher Report is, like TNT & TBS, owned by Warner Bros Discovery)
Unrestricted-a weekly show hosted by Will Washington & referee Aubrey Edwards that features an extended (normally about 40-45 minutes) interview with a different AEW wrestler or personality each week, talking about their life & careers both inside and outside the ring. Video version available at TNT’s website and on YouTube for FREE. Audio versions available for FREE wherever you subscribe to podcasts. New episodes available early Thursday mornings (audio). Video versions premiere the Monday after the audio version (search for “AEW Unrestricted” on YouTube).
Being The Elite-a weekly YouTube series created by The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) that chronicles their lives & travels as top independent wrestling stars as part of their self-created faction The Elite with Kenny Omega and others, which since AEW’s creation has become a more AEW-centric show featuring other AEW. New episodes premiere Mondays at Noon ET/9 AM PT on the Being The Elite YouTube channel (under that name). A website is also advertised for the show but it redirects to YouTube. Prior episodes can also be seen on YouTube going back to the first one, however at least 4 episodes (2 in the first dozen and episodes 82 & 83) are not available for various reasons. The show was ended in October 2023 and apparently replaced with a version featuring the Dark Order called “Being The Dark Order”.
ROH’s weekly TV show and PPVs are available on demand on HonorClub, the promotion’s online streaming service. HonorClub is available in the US for $9.99/month.
In April 2022 a deal was announced that also will make AEW programming available on New Japan World, the online streaming service of New Japan Pro Wrestling. Although the service is available worldwide, the episodes are only viewable in Japan. New Japan has a working relationship with AEW. Beginning in April 2022, content featuring DDT wrestler Konosuke Takeshita will also be available on WRESTLE UNIVERSE, the online streaming service of the DDT Group and Pro Wrestling NOAH.
AEW currently has 8 titles: AEW World Championship, AEW TNT Championship, AEW TBS Championship, AEW Women’s World Championship, AEW World Tag Team Championship, AEW All-Atlantic championship (now AEW International Championship), AEW Trios Championship, AEW Continental Championship. An 8th title, the FTW Championship, is contested for sometimes but is not recognized by AEW.
