AEW's long-arc booking is back to the level that made the company a credible WWE alternative in the first place. AEW Dynamite broadcasts on TBS while Collision drifts between TNT and HBO Max windows. In 2026, All Elite Wrestling announced that Kosha Irby has joined the organization as Chief Operating Officer.
