VIDEO: Episode one of The Road to AEW on TNT

AEW has released the first episode of their Road to TNT series:

Tony Schiavone was the Control Center host for the episode. He recapped All Out and began to look ahead to the AEW on TNT premiere, which is taking place at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, October 2.

Three matches have been announced for the TNT debut thus far. Chris Jericho will team with two mystery partners in a six-man tag match against Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks, Nyla Rose and Riho will face off to determine the inaugural AEW Women’s Champion, and Cody Rhodes will take on Sammy Guevara.

The Women’s title match was set up by Rose and Riho’s wins at All Out. Rose won the Casino Battle Royale, while Riho defeated Hikaru Shida.

During his post-All Out media scrum, Tony Khan was asked about the name of AEW’s weekly series and confirmed that a name will be announced that isn’t just “AEW on TNT” or “All Elite Wrestling.”
