For months, fans have been waiting to see if AEW would launch a new show called AEW: Shockwave on FOX. However, there had not been any update about the show for months, and now it appears that the deal has fallen through.
While speaking on The Hump, Sean Ross Sapp was asked about the status of AEW Shockwave and whether it was still happening after months of silence. He explained that it was only a pitch and a theory rather than a concrete plan. While the idea was brought up, no deal was ever reached, and it ultimately fell through.
While AEW previously filed a trademark for AEW: Shockwave, and Swerve Strickland even hinted atAEW possibly having a presence on FOX, there was simply no indication that the show was ever going to see the light of day.
AEW fans were excited about the possibility of a new show on FOX, but it is evident that it wont be happening anymore. Talks have fallen through, and the show is officially off the table.
With AEWs $555 million media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery already securing their TV presence, it remains to be seen if Tony Khan will explore new opportunities with other networks in the future.
