I think the champions of AEW will be the champions on every show, and frankly, every promotion in the world. We\u2019re not shy about the AEW wrestlers going out and taking on the top stars, top competition from other companies.<\/p>\n<p>The roster we have is so strong, I believe we have so many great wrestlers, it\u2019s impossible to showcase them all in three hours of television. Now, it\u2019s a much better opportunity with five hours of television. Across five hours of television, we can really utilize the roster much more frequently and utilize our great wrestlers more than they\u2019ve ever been used before, so I\u2019m very excited.&#8221; (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightful.com\/wrestling\/tony-khan-i-haven-t-locked-aew-any-kind-roster-split\">Fightful<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>AEW Collision will premiere this Saturday June 17 from the United Center in Chicago.
