Tony Khan is once again promoting a big announcement for this week’s AEW Dynamite. But unlike last month’s, which saw the arrival of New Japan’s Jay White and the signing of former NXT Champion Keith Lee, he has stated in multiple interviews that this will not be a talent acquisition. He started hyping the news on Feb. 18, saying on Busted Open Radio, “I’m working on something pretty big. It would be massive. I don’t know if it’s what anybody would expect or think it is, but it would be a big deal in pro wrestling. I’m looking forward to hopefully making it happen. Stay tuned. I will hopefully get it done and have more to announce soon.”
