Pay to play? Earlier this month, news came out that the upcoming AEW television show might be coming to one of the Turner Networks, meaning either TNT or TBS. That would be a huge moment for a new company, but at the same time it wasn’t set in stone yet. With nothing being ready yet, it turns out that another network might be in play and it’s not one that you would see coming.

According to Les Moore of Talking Sheet and Prowrestling.net, the Turner Networks might not be the only networks in play for AEW. Showtime may also be in play, though the audience would be far lower than the Turner Networks. Allegedly Turner wasn’t happy with the production of All In, which was handled more by Ring of Honor, which took away some of the shine from AEW. At the moment, nothing is signed and it isn’t clear which network is in the lead.

Things are certainly looking up. Check out how we got here with a quick look at the Double Or Nothing press conference:

All Elite Wrestling

Opinion: I’m firmly at the point where I need to see something happen before I believe all these rumors. There are some possibilities floating around but until the deal is announced, it could go all kinds of different ways before we actually get to a deal. Hopefully AEW gets a major network that is easily available, as there are so many different ways that could go very badly.

Which network do you think will land AEW? When do you think the deal will be announced? Let us know in the comments below.
