All Elite Wrestling revealed its third singles title, the TNT championship, on its latest Road to Dynamite video series. The video also includes the announcement of an eight-man tournament that will crown the new champion. The new title is named after the TNT network AEW airs on in the United States.
AEW announcer Tony Schiavone, who is also famously known for being the announcer of the now-defunct WCW, revealed the first of the tournament brackets will be unveiled on the March 31 episode of AEW Dark, which airs on the promotion's YouTube channel. The other half of the bracket will be revealed the following day on AEW's flagship show, Dynamite, which will be its third empty arena show due to coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The announcement comes on the back of many fans asking AEW for a TV title, reserved for mid-card talents, to be introduced to the roster. AEW already has two singles titles, the Men's World Championship and the Women's World Championship. Fans have finally gotten what they wanted months after AEW's Cody first teased an announcement.
The April 1 episode of Dynamite, which is set to reveal the second half of the tournament brackets, is also advertised to feature the debut match of the lethal and monstrous Lance Archer, who previously wrestled for New Japan Pro Wrestling.
To catch the upcoming bracket announcements, tune in to AEW Dark on Tuesday, March 31 at 7 p.m. ET and Dynamite on Wednesday, April 1 at 8 p.m. ET.
