AEW Star Continues To Tease FOX Move
Could AEW really move to Fox?
In recent days rumours began doing the rounds that All Elite Wrestling could be about to do a deal with Fox. The speculation began shortly after WWE aired its final episode of SmackDown with the broadcaster before it moves to the USA Network on September 13th.
The chatter caught many by surprise as AEW is reportedly on the verge of agreeing a new media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. Speaking after All Out, Tony Khan went as far as to say he was 90% sure a deal would be announced within the next month.
However, according to Fightful and Beyond the Bell’s Andrew Zarian, Fox remains interested in airing pro wrestling, despite the end of their deal with WWE.
As speculation runs wild AEW star Rush has now had some fun with the situation, sharing a photo while posing in front of a Fox Sports logo.

Tony Khan Refuses To Give Details On AEW Shockwave
To add to the intrigue, All Elite Wrestling recently filed a trademark for “AEW: Shockwave.” The new trademark relates to “Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests,” which many fans have taken to mean a new show could be on the way. Furthermore, given the new speculation around Fox, these same fans are wondering whether the two stories could be linked.
Either way, during the post-All Out press conference, Tony Khan gave little away, commenting only that “It would be safe to say that AEW is set to create a shockwave throughout all of professional wrestling.”
