“There will be a lot of news in the week of ahead (sic). I don’t know if I’ll get it done by tonight but stay tuned in the week ahead, hopefully. I’m working on something pretty big. It would be massive. I don’t know if it’s what anybody would expect or think it is, but it would be a big deal in pro wrestling. I’m looking forward to hopefully making it happen. Stay tuned. I will hopefully get it done and have more to announce soon.”
(Via Busted Open Radio)
So.. what do we think this could mean? And anyone else get Michael Scott’s big ice cream sandwich surprise vibes?

Speaking in general: There seems to be a big announcement/surprise every other week, sometimes more often. At worst it doesn't allow the product to breathe, at best it just doesn't allow me to breathe, because I#m always prepared for a major change-up. Usually AEW delivers in this regard, so there's no comparison to TNA, but I was fatigued by TNA's announcements, too beyond them being lackluster.
In other words: Old man needs time to keep up with all the major and minor changes.

Maybe something NJPW related, given the restrictions loosening over there.

They've attached a third arm and some laser cannons to Rey Fenix. Also he can literally fly now.

Yeah, the quarantine in Japan got reduced to 3 days, so its perfect time for that NJPW show, and we might get to see the BC with what happened at Impact No Surrender show

Some other possibilities: streaming deal (HBO Max?). Running MSG.

I'm guessing big crossover show. I'd love a dream card type of thing.

NJPW is coincidentally having a press conference at 4am EST tonight/tomorrow morning announcing the 48(!) participants in the New Japan Cup tournament. I'm expecting at least a few AEW wrestlers along with some Impact and NOAH folks, too.
I'd love to see a NJPWxAEW supercard, though.

Wild out there prediction: Tony is buying another wrestling company and will be absorbing it into AEW.

Tony has trademarked the name "Cody Rhodes" and is giving the gimmick to Austin Gunn.

Way out there guess: Very Late, Very Evil with Danhausen, a new talk show on Adult Swim.
