AEW announced that the first live TNT show will take place on October 02, 2019 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. While it’s interesting that AEW would pick D.C. for the first show, it’s also bewildering that they didn’t go with Chicago where they presumably have a strong fan base.

The heart of the matter…

As part of the promotion for the first-ever AEW TV live event, Chad Dukes interviewed Cody Rhodes to discuss things such as the location, the sledgehammer shot at HHH and Cain Velasquez.

Things are going to get interesting once October 02 comes around.
