Some more AEW news via The Meltz:
* They’re negotiating with two “major” cable companies for a two-hour prime time show. It’s looking like Tuesday night might not be a thing for them.
* They’re unlikely to get Mayu Iwatani, just because ROH got her her work visa, and they feel it would be rude to get her to work opposite them. They’re apparently planning on bringing in Japanese women though, including Aja Kong.
* The Young Bucks reportedly received major offers from WWE to block AEW. It was allegedly AJ Styles money with Being the Elite continuing on the WWE Network. They also had what Meltzer says he’s never seen before: a six-month out clause if they don’t like their creative direction. People in WWE were shocked they didn’t take them. Triple H and The Bucks talked for about 12 hours.
* Tony Khan seems to be heading up creative.
* Jacksonville in July; Chicago in September.
