What we know about AEW’s debut show on TNT

AEW will have their first show on TNT on October 2, airing live from Washington, D.C. Here’s everything we know about it so far.

Last week, AEW officially announced that they will air weekly live shows on TNT beginning Wednesday, October 2. The debut show is live from Washington, D.C. at the Capital One Arena. Check out our recap for all the details.

There’s been a flurry of news since the original announcement. Here’s what we know.

Tickets for the inaugural show are on sale this Friday, August 2, at 12 PM ET. They’ll be available on AEW’s website. Seats start at just $20.

The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega will face Chris Jericho and two mystery partners. Rumors have been swirling since this match was announced on who his partners will be. The most popular guess is LAX.

Jon Moxley will be appearing live, but will he be in action?

The first match that fans will see from AEW on TNT is Cody vs. Sammy Guevara. Somewhat surprisingly, this has been a controversial announcement. Some fans have been questioning the decision to have Cody’s first opponent to be someone that isn’t a household name. Isn’t that the point? AEW is creating new stars. They’re introducing fans to talent they may have only seen in gifs or just read their name online. This match is huge for Guevara and shows the confidence that they have in him. Not only is he facing Cody, he’s in the first match on the first show. You can’t get much bigger than that.

In exciting news, AEW will crown the first Women’s World Champion on the debut show. No word yet on which women will be competing to be the inaugural Women’s World Champion.

In news related to AEW, Amtrak will offer non-stop service between Washington, D.C. and New York City starting on September 23. Just in time for #AEWDC.
