According to a fresh claim from F4Wonline, another weekly AEW TV show is on the way sooner rather than later. Andrew Zarian broke the news on the Saturday episode of the “Mat Men” podcast.

All Elite Wrestling and Warner Bros. Discovery are reportedly nearing an agreement to introduce a third AEW wrestling event. It’s going to be comparable to Friday’s “Rampage,” with a one-hour length. Zarian did not say when the unnamed program will be unveiled, but he did say that fans could “anticipate the announcement within the next month.”

While it will be the third wrestling event, it will be AEW’s fourth. The third is “AEW: All Access,” the promotion’s new reality TV show. The reality TV show was initially revealed on the February 22 episode of “Dynamite,” and it will premiere on March 29 after this week’s “AEW Dynamite.”

Each “All Access” episode will follow AEW stars on a week-by-week basis. AEW performers will appear on the show, including Sammy Guevara, Tay Melo, The Young Bucks, Eddie Kingston, Wardlow, and Saraya. Tony Khan, the CEO of AEW, will also be featured on the show.

“AEW: All Access” is the second reality TV series produced by AEW and WBD; the first, “Rhodes at the Top,” aired in 2021 with former AEW stars Cody and Brandi Rhodes. Nevertheless, it will be fascinating to see when the program will be broadcast and what the name will be.

Ric Flair upset over MJF dumping a beer on a young fan at AEW Revolution

Ric Flair is one of the biggest stars in the history of pro wrestling. The former world champion has a complicated record of being a heel inside and outside of the ring, from being widely recognized as “The Dirtiest Player in the Game” for decades to the “Plane Ride From Hell” event. Even Flair, though, has openly condemned Maxwell Jacob Friedman’s conduct at AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view.

During his Iron Man match against Bryan Danielson, MJF stole a drink from a spectator and hurled it in the face of a child before returning to ringside. When asked about it after the performance, the AEW Champion remarked the “kid looked thirsty.” Scorpio Sky and Wrestling Inc’s Ross W. Berman IV were among many who chimed in on this unwarranted and unjustified attack. Flair has also spoken out about the occurrence. Conrad Thompson asked his father-in-law about MJF’s actions on the “To Be The Man” podcast.

“It’s cheap heat,” Flair said. “You want to do something to get heat and get the people excited that won’t hurt anybody? You cut yourself so deep that when you swing your hair, you throw blood all over them. I used to do it all the time when I had long hair. Then they feel like they’re part of the action.”

While Flair appeared to be joking when he said that final piece, he made his position crystal apparently saying, “I’m totally against throwing anything on a kid.”
