Backstage Update On AEW’s Plans For New Weekly Show

In recent weeks, it’s been reported that AEW is close to finalizing a new weekly television show that will air on Saturday nights. 

It’s been strongly hinted by F4W’s Andrew Zarian that the show could air in the 6:05 pm EST timeslot, a welcomed timeslot for old-school WCW/NWA fans. 

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the Saturday show should be up and running by July:

“The schedule in June hasn’t been announced yet other than the Canadian shows so we don’t know if this (7/14 in Regina, Saskatchewan) is the first Saturday taping or the Saturday show will begin before this date. But the Saturday show is right now planned and unless something major changes it will be debuting at least by July if not earlier,” Meltzer wrote.

Jay White is still a free agent after finishing up with NJPW.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that White is in talks with AEW and WWE. 

“Regarding Jay White, we are told that White has been talking to WWE but has not signed. He is also talking to AEW. From someone familiar with the situation they described it as 50/50 which side he would go with,” Meltzer wrote.

Taya Valkyrie Makes AEW Debut

A triple champion across three promotions, Taya Valkyrie made her debut for AEW on Wednesday night’s episode of Dynamite, confronting reigning AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill.

Wednesday’s show saw Cargill successfully defend the TBS Championship against Nicole Matthews in a Canadian Open Challenge.

Following the match, Cargill asked if that was all Canada could offer, and this led to Valkyrie coming out to the ring.

Valkyrie got right in Cargill’s face, but the undefeated TBS Champion Cargill backed off. Leila Grey made an attempt to attack Valkyrie but got decimated by the decorated Canadian athlete. Cargill tried to brawl but was held back by Mark Sterling and the referees.

Following the segment, AEW President Tony Khan announced that Valkyrie has signed with the company.

Valkyrie currently holds the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship, and the MLW Women’s Featherweight Championship.
