WarnerMedia confirmed earlier this year that while AEW Dynamite will be officially moving from TNT to TBS beginning in January, the young wrestling promotion will continue to have a presence on its original network via four supercard events spread throughout the year. Andrew Zarian of The Mat Men Podcast then reported on Monday that the first of those specials is being penciled in for Jan. 8, and that one of the possible names for the show will be “Battle of the Belts.” Longtime wrestling fans will likely recognize that name as a classic National Wrestling Alliance/Championship Wrestling from Florida event from 1985-87.
Per Source:AEW is planning a TNT Special on Jan 8th. They’re obviously not able to use the name “Clash of the Champions” due to WWE owning the rights…However, I’m hearing the possible name for this show will be “Battle of the Belts” A throwback to NWA/CFW from pic.twitter.com/hjuOqpIHGf
