All Elite Wrestling launched in 2019 with a series of pay-per-view events over the course of the year leading to the premiere of their weekly show, the two-hour AEW Dynamite. Soon after, the YouTube exclusive AEW Dark launched, featuring dark matches taped at Dynamite broadcasts as well as the odd storyline progression and character development.

Since Dynamite got renewed at TNT, there’s been talk of AEW launching a second televised show to air on the network, bringing AEW’s total ongoing weeklies to three. While that sounds like a sign of success, could a second TNT show actually be a bad idea? Or is it a slam dunk?

10 Get a Second TNT Show: More AEW

AEW Dynamite

AEW Dynamite is a certified hit with many wrestling fans, getting pretty strong TV ratings and putting on highly acclaimed matches after a little over a year. That success is more than enough to justify more AEW content on TV, as its two-hour Wednesday show seems like it’s the highest anticipated pro wrestling show every week.

For most AEW fans, more content from their new favorite promotion can’t be a bad thing.

One thing that AEW would be risking with a second show on TNT is the possibility of oversaturation. AEW fans might be hungry for more content, but it’s always hard to tell the difference between “leaving them wanting more” and “not giving them enough.”

There’s a ton of wrestling happening all the time these days, and as much as AEW is the hottest thing going now, a second TNT show might just be one too many for some fans.

8 Get a Second TNT Show: More Time to Develop

One of the problems with AEW’s weekly shows so far is that there actually isn't a lot of time to develop storylines. As a result, some feuds fall by the wayside or get forgotten about because more important things need to happen on Dynamite.

With a second AEW show on TNT, there would be a lot more time to let the overall product breathe and keep any of their programming from getting so overstuffed that they can’t fit everything in that they need.

7 Avoid It: Too Early

As already successful as it is, All Elite Wrestling is still a very young promotion, and pro wrestling history has shown that needlessly rapid, aggressive expansion has been the downfall of many promotions in the past.

In a lot of ways, AEW is still working out the kinks of being a functioning pro wrestling company, so adding a second major show might be taking on too much too fast.

6 Get a Second TNT Show: More Matches That Matter

AEW’s second weekly program, the online-only AEW Dark, is the source of much criticism from fans. For the most part, the matches on the show are jobber squashes or bouts that don’t really matter except to pad a wrestler’s win-loss record.

Dark may be free to watch, but that only goes so far if it’s not sufficiently entertaining. A second show on TNT would not have this problem, as it would have to justify its existence, so fans could definitely expect higher quality matches than the ones they see on Dark.

5 Avoid It: The Curse of the B-Show

Having a second major weekly program, while a sign of success, can also be a critical failure. Some eras of SmackDown are great examples of this: whenever it didn’t have its own devoted roster, WWE’s B-show always felt like a superfluous recap show or one where if anything important happened, they’d just repeat it again on Raw.

WCW Thunder is, of course, the most infamous B-show, as it’s low-quality matches and general unimportance have caused fans to consider Thunder to be a major contributor to the company’s downfall.

4 Get a Second TNT Show: More Women’s Matches

One of the incredibly fair criticisms fans have leveled at AEW is its handling of its women’s division. While they boast a nice array of female talent, AEW has had a lot of trouble presenting the division, often giving them short shrift and sometimes leaving them off of Dynamite cards entirely.

If there’s one thing that a second TNT show would do for AEW, it would be another opportunity to showcase its women’s division. And, with the extra TV time, the promotion would have even less excuse to not highlight their talent.

3 Avoid It: Two Shows Are Enough

AEW Dark

Currently, WWE boasts six shows, including not only Raw and Smackdown but also minor shows like Main Event and WWE Network exclusives like 205 Live and NXT UK.

They can do that because they have a gigantic roster of talent that dwarfs AEW’s. Rather than come up with a third show, the company could just as easily reinvent Dark to be closer to necessary viewing for fans who need more AEW.

2 Get a Second TNT Show: Highlight Midcard Talent

AEW’s roster obviously isn’t as expansive as WWE’s, but it’s still a pretty sizable group, many of which don’t get the exposure they deserve. A second TNT show could be crucial for a lot of the midcarders who don’t get enough of a spotlight on Dynamite, such as Sonny Kiss, Joey Janela, Shawn Spears, and The Hybrid2.

Add at least a couple of marquee guys on a given card like Kenny Omega, The Lucha Brothers, and Cody to ensure fans stick around, and it’s a surefire formula to get more eyes on underrepresented talent.

1 Avoid It: Dynamite Would Feel Less Special

As it is now, AEW Dynamite is the only show that fans “need” to watch aside from the quarterly pay-per-views, and it airs only once a week. That creates a ton of demand and anticipation for this sole two-hour block, and that’s really rare considering how many hours of television WWE produces by comparison.

As a result, Dynamite feels incredibly special, and a second TNT show would only diminish that specialness.
