TBS title tournament kicking off on AEW Dynamite

During his regular Friday appearance on Busted Open Radio, AEW head Tony Khan gave some details on the upcoming TBS title tournament.

What was already known was the field and bracket will be announced during Friday’s Rampage, but Khan revealed that the tournament will feature twelve women and four first-round byes.

The tournament will kick off Saturday on Dynamite with the first match revealed Friday which Khan played up as featuring “huge” names.

AEW announced the creation of the TBS title earlier this month ahead of Dynamite’s move to the network in January 2022. The tournament finals will take place on the first day of that move on January 5th.

Khan again put over Saturday’s Dynamite/college football preview show at 7:05 PM Eastern where Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Taz will preview Saturday’s show and run through highlights from games featuring the top ten college football teams. He still didn’t announce how to watch the show, but it’s assumed it will be on YouTube.
