AEW President and CEO Tony Khan recently appeared on the “Culture State” podcast, where he noted that there will be several big championship matches during their AEW Battle Of The Belts special, but that not every title will be on the line because the show will only last for one hour.
This is what Tony Khan said:
“It’s a one-hour event so I can’t put every belt on the line.” “But it’s a great chance on a Saturday night to expand the reach of AEW by giving the fans great championship matches on a Saturday night, which is a night that – you know, people love watching wrestling from our whole lives – that you can build an audience, especially for a big event. So, there’s gonna be big championship matches I’m very excited about.”
Tony Khan also revealed that tonight’s Holiday Bash episode of AEW Dynamite will feature an update on the AEW World Title picture and what is next for Bryan Danielson and the AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page following their historic one-hour time-limit draw.
This is what Tony Khan said:
“We’ll tell people what’s next for the fallout of that amazing one-hour draw – Bryan Danielson vs. Hangman Page for the world title.” “I can tell you this. The records being what they are, and the rankings have just come out as we tape this and Bryan Danielson is still the #1 contender to the title. So, Bryan Danielson is still ranked #1 in AEW, and on Dynamite, we’ll announce more about what’s to come.”
AEW’s Battle Of The Belts special is set to take place on Saturday, January 8th, 2022 from inside the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina and will air live on TNT starting at 8PM ET. The only match announced for the Battle Of The Belts special as of this writing is the AEW Women’s World Title Match between AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Riho.
