AEW Dark is back for one night.

Ahead of today’s AEW Collision from the Utilita Arena in Cardiff, Wales, Tony Khan announced to the live crowd that he had asked Warner Bros. Discovery for permission to bring the show back and it was approved.

Khan said on today’s show:

“Because I love Cardiff so much I went to the great executives at Warner Bros. Discovery, the great company that powers the engine that makes AEW possible and I said to them, ‘Please, it’s a holiday season, for one night only, because there’s hardcore AEW fans in Cardiff this holiday season tonight I want to bring back, for one night only, AEW Dark!”

“And you know what they said? They said yes!”

Khan added that the show would take place after Collision, which is currently being filmed.

AEW Dark originally ran from October 8, 2019, to April 25, 2023, and aired on AEW’s official YouTube channel.
