Tonight’s AEW Rampage on TNT at 10/9C.
Michael Mansury, the former Vice President of Global Television Production for WWE, has been hired by AEW, and now changes are expected for AEW programming.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that part of the deal for Mansury being brought in is that Warner Brothers Discovery and AEW President Tony Khan have decided to change the look of the television programming.
It’s believed that the planned changes will go into effect at some point in January.
A person within WWE gave the following comments regarding Manusary being signed by AEW:
“Tremendous asset. Was being groomed to be the heir apparent to the Kevin Dunn throne, but moved up too quickly and much like David Sahadi and several others, that’s when Dunn covertly made his life very difficult.”

At Saturday’s post-ROH Final Battle 2022 media scrum, AEW President Tony Khan announced the return of HonorClub, which is where ROH’s weekly TV show will be featured.
The company sent out the following press release today to hype the news:
Tony Khan Announces Relaunch of Ring of Honor’s HonorClub Platform
— More than two decades of Ring of Honor Content Now Available For $9.99/Month, With New PPV and TV Content To Come —
On the heels of a momentous Ring of Honor Final Battle pay-per-view from College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, Tony Khan announced that the company’s HonorClub streaming platform has officially relaunched, featuring more than 2,500 hours of premium professional wrestling content dating back to 2002, with new weekly television episodes coming soon to the platform.
The announcement was made during an afternoon filled with title changes, as Claudio Castagnoli regained the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho, Athena taking the ROH Women’s World Championship from Mercedes Martinez, The Briscoes winning the ROH World Tag Team Championships back from FTR in their third matchup this year, Wheeler Yuta winning the ROH Pure Championship back from Daniel Garcia and the Gates of Agony defeating Dalton Castle & The Boys for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships.
Fans can sign up immediately for HonorClub for just $9.99 per month by visiting WatchROH.com. HonorClub is accessible via the ROH app on iOS, Android, Roku and Amazon FireTV.
The relaunched platform features updated functionality, where fans will be able to enjoy thousands of hours of Ring of Honor content including classic matches from the full ROH television archive and hundreds of pay-per-views and special events. Khan also announced plans for a weekly ROH television show to be solidified at the top of next year. Pay-per-view events will be available for viewing on HonorClub 90 days after they happen live, with live broadcasts still airing via Bleacher Report.
Jeff Jarrett currently serves as AEW’s Director of Business Development and is working closely on the live event side of things.
During the latest edition of his “My World” podcast, Jarrett promised some “cool things” that will be coming in 2023.
When talking about adding AEW live events to new markets, Jarrett said the company is “plowing the ground, and a lot of cool things coming in Q1 next year.” He said,
“Hopefully we get some announcements out sooner rather than later, but there’s a lot of cool things … The WWE is a 40, 50, 60-year-old company, the lineage goes back three or four generations. AEW, I mean people may or may not take this the right way, but in a lot of ways it’s no longer the embryo, it’s been born, but it’s still in the infant stages. It’s really cool.”

Chris Jericho faced off against Action Andretti on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, which many fans and Jericho himself thought would be a squash match. But in a shocking turn of events, Andretti picked up a huge upset victory over the Ocho.
Jericho, who was extremely angry after losing to Claudio Castagnoli at the ROH Final Battle 2022 pay-per-view event, said he was going to take his frustrations out on “some jobber.”
This led to Andretti coming out to face him, with the “jobber” picking up a massive win over Jericho.
Andretti often works for MCU Pro Wrestling and has also worked for CZW in the past.
Following the match, AEW President Tony Khan announced that Andretti is All Elite.

AEW Dynamite Winter Is Coming will air live tonight on TBS, and emanate from the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas.
At the age of 63, All Elite Wrestling star Sting is still going strong. It’s been just about two years since Sting debuted for AEW at Winter is Coming 2020 by coming to the aid of Darby Allin, and since then he’s put on a number of astonishing performances. In a recent interview with “The K&C Masterpiece” radio show, however, Sting revealed that he recently underwent surgery on both of his knees.
“I just had surgery, it [was] 6 or 7 weeks ago now,” Sting said. “Basically just a clean-out on my very old knees. … I’ve seen those that went through the physical therapy process with flying colors, and did what they were supposed to do, and worked through the pain versus those who did not. Those who did not, they never recover. The game never comes back to them.”
Sting would then recall several instances from his past where he knew that he was injured, and stressed the importance of stopping immediately rather than attempting to power through certain injuries. “Then there are other times where you’re hurt almost to that point, but you can still go on,” Sting continued. “I’ve dealt with all of it.”
The recent surgery might come as a bit of a surprise for fans, considering Sting wrestled a match at AEW Full Gear just a few weeks ago. “The Stinger” didn’t take it easy during the match, either — he even dove off a raised platform, landing on Jay Lethal and Satnam Singh, in one of the more memorable moments of the match. His actions in the match seem to confirm Sting’s surgery was relatively minor, and it certainly looks as though the wrestling legend is already back at full capacity.
