AEW’s Owner, CEO, and GM Tony Khan delivered a significant Tony Khan AEW Announcement on an episode of Dynamite from Pittsburgh, revealing plans to introduce a new Women’s Tag Team Championship. This major development was first teased at the AEW All Out pay-per-view (PPV) on Saturday in Toronto, creating anticipation among fans who have often found Khan’s announcements underwhelming in the past. During the show, Tony Khan expressed pride in AEW’s women’s division and confirmed the imminent crowning of the inaugural Women’s Tag Team Champions.
Khan personally called on Renee Paquette to unveil the new championship belts, which were met with enthusiastic cheers from the live audience. While the exact date for the first championship crowning was not specified, it was made clear that this milestone will occur very soon, marking a historic moment for AEW’s women’s division.
Adjusting AEW’s Pay-Per-View Schedule Considering Global Audience
In the aftermath of AEW All Out, which kicked off earlier than usual at 3 p.m. ET partly due to WWE’s Wrestlepalooza airing the same evening, Tony Khan hinted at possible future changes to AEW’s PPV scheduling. The early start time was well-received, notably by European viewers who could watch the event during prime time rather than in the early morning hours.
At a post-event press conference, Khan acknowledged the benefits of afternoon showtimes and indicated that this approach might become more common for certain weekends. He stated,
“It’s definitely something to think about, especially on Saturdays with the way the schedule works and what we’re doing. I do think there is something to it.”
Khan further added,
“It’d be something to consider on some of the Sundays. It’s been tremendous for three straight pay-per-views. It’s something I would take into consideration.”
Khan highlighted the positive response from UK viewers as a major factor in this potential shift.
“It’s the third straight pay-per-view with an early start time on the East Coast and in the prime time in the UK, and we’ve had great results in the UK. That’s a huge consideration to us, and that’s a big part of it. Whether it’s Saturday or Sunday, it’s something to think about,”
he explained. Despite this, the upcoming WrestleDream on October 18 and Full Gear on November 22 are scheduled with the usual 8 p.m. ET start times, indicating no immediate change.

Significance of the Women’s Tag Team Titles and Future Outlook
The unveiling of AEW’s new Women’s World Tag Team Championships marks an important step in expanding the company’s commitment to its women’s division, offering female competitors additional opportunities to shine on a prominent platform. This move not only elevates the division’s status but also aligns AEW with other major wrestling promotions that have established similar titles. Given AEW’s growing global audience and evolving PPV scheduling ideas, the promotion appears focused on enhancing fan engagement and maximizing viewership across diverse markets.
As Tony Khan continues to make strategic decisions regarding event timings and championship introductions, AEW’s trajectory indicates a willingness to adapt and innovate in response to both internal goals and external competition. Fans can expect the Women’s Tag Team Championships to become a cornerstone of AEW programming, while future announcements and scheduling adjustments remain under close watch.
