TNT grappling show

AEW stands for All Elite Wrestling, a professional wrestling promotion founded in 2019 as an alternative to WWE's long dominance of American wrestling.

The company emphasizes athletic in-ring work and has revived interest in wrestling as competitive sport rather than pure entertainment spectacle: AEW Dynamite airs Wednesday nights.
