Backstage Rumors on Tony Khan's Next Big Announcement & Possibility of AEW/NJPW Joint Show


-- AEW President Tony Khan is set to make another "huge announcement" this week on the weekly Dynamite program and there has been multiple rumors on what that could be. One of the top stories floating around is that Khan will announce a joint AEW/NJPW show in the next few months, with the most likely date being June 23 and the destination as Chicago, IL.

-- Dave Meltzer recently spoke on the possibility of the joint show and whether that is Khan's announcement by saying that he asked about it and his AEW sources didn't confirm the story but they also didn't flat-out deny it either. As a result, Meltzer feels there is "smoke to that fire" and it remains very possible since he feels the people he talked to would have been told "we are not doing that show" if it was not going to happen.

-- Other potential topics that Khan could be looking at for his announcement include a streaming deal for AEW, which is reportedly been working on or a distribution deal for his new Ring of Honor purchase as they would need a deal like that to keep that promotion going independently.
