All Elite Wrestling Executive Vice President and talent Cody Rhodes noted during “An Evening With Cody & The Young Bucks” stage show at Starrcast II last night that All Elite Wrestling’s weekly show will air on ITV in the United Kingdom in the Fall, the third person from the company to make mention of an AEW/ITV deal.
During a recent interview with actor and comedian Jack Whitehall, AEW President Tony Khan made mention of a deal with ITV stating, “What we’ve got right now in the US and the UK is phenomenal, because it’s been so long since anybody’s had the distribution…nobody’s had the distribution we have. To have partners like TNT and ITV, at the same time, it’s the best distribution any wrestling company, bar none has ever had. That’s what we have on our side right now.”
Chris Jericho also made mention of an AEW/ITV deal on his latest podcast stating, “AEW’s inaugural event, “Double Or Nothing” is this Saturday in Las Vegas! Chris breaks down the card and the events leading up to this historic show, and shares what it means for his career, the WWE, and the wrestling industry as a whole. He explains the origins and development of his new finishing move, The Judas Effect (and what Dave Bautista has to do with it), and what fans can expect as AEW grows and makes it way to TV via TNT and ITV this Fall! He also has a very pointed and personal message for Kenny Omega.”
