Backstage chatter on AEW's announement (Patreon)

Tony Khan's latest big announcement is upon us, and the AEW locker room is talking.

As of now, the exact announcement isn't known, but some plans in the works and upcoming announcements were speculated by talent. Please be aware this is backstage chatter from members of the locker room.

An upcoming UK announcement is one of the popular theories. Within the AEW roster, OVO Arena Wembley in the Summer has picked up a lot of steam as a real possibility. There were actually a couple of members at the top of the roster pushing for that.

Another announcement rumored has been an upcoming Saturday show. We've long heard chatter that there could be some roster parity in that sense. We haven't heard what something like that would do to AEW Rampage or ROH, but we've certainly heard it discussed.

There were also ROH talent hoping that the brand would start traveling a bit more soon, but those that we spoke to believed that was more wishful thinking, and wouldn't be related to tonight's announcement.

We haven't heard that CM Punk returning would be a possible announcement, but we do know that Tony Khan and Punk have talked many times in recent months.
