Tony Khan says AEW Battle of the Belts will continue.
The status of the quarterly Battle of the Belts specials has been somewhat unclear since AEW and Warner Brothers Discovery confirmed that AEW Collision would premiere on Saturday, June 17, adding two more hours of AEW TV to TNT’s lineup every week.
Speaking with John Pollock and Brandon Thurston for POST Wrestling, Khan was asked how AEW Battle of the Belts will be affected by AE Collision and whether the series of events would continue. Khan confirmed that Battle of the Belts will continue, but the details haven’t been locked in yet.
“Yeah, Battle of the Belts will continue, which is great. As for where the next Battle of the Belts episode will run on TNT, whether it will be a Friday or a Saturday, it’s a great question, and still talking about that. We’ll have a good answer for you on that soon,” Khan said.
When asked whether he is approaching Collision with the idea of going from two hours and adding additional two hours of this winning formula or making distinctions between Dynamite and Collision, Khan described how he wants to take some aspects of theworking formula AEW has already established while making Collision a distinct show.
“I think you hit the nail on the head there great. I want to take some of the great things we’ve developed that are part of the working formula, but I also want to create a distinct show with a distinct identity, and I really believe we can do that with Collision and present a great wrestling show every Saturday night, starting this week,” Khan said.
