All Elite Wrestling had a big day today, and offered some context as well.
The company was a part of TNT's presentation at today's Television Critics Association, and took part in a panel with several members of the roster there. Cody Rhodes, Brandi Rhodes, Nyla Rose, Awesome Kong, Jungle Boy and others appeared, and answered questions from media.
You can see several tweets from entertainment journalists from TCA 2019 below.
Now moving on to a panel on #AllEliteWrestling, the sizzle reel for which is EXTREMELY INTENSE. Like Shondaland night on ABC during sweeps intense. Bring it! #TCA19

Brandi Rhodes points out that #AEW is diverse because they are going for "the best talent". "We're not looking for a blonde that's 5'4''...we're looking for Kia Stevens." #TCA19

Brandi Rhodes says that because #AEW is only doing one show a week, the wrestlers won't be driving themselves on the road, putting injured bodies in the ring. She says "well-being" is important. Kia Stevens adds she's "very happy" and "heard." #TCA19

Cody Rhodes talks about a smaller wrestling show three guys put together and it sold out -- with no corporation behind it. Rhodes reminds us that at one time, wrestling was one of TNT's highest-rated shows (before 2001) #AEWonTNT #TCA19

Cody Rhodes says they listen to the live audience at #AEWonTNT shows to gauge which wrestlers the audience likes. They have arcs planned but they'll listen/respond to who the audience likes. Brandi Rhodes says "everything is shiftable." @AEWrestling #TCA19

The team who was here from @AEWonTNT @CodyRhodes @TheBrandiRhodes @NylaRoseBeast @boy_myth_legend and @MeanQueenK were fun. #TCA19

'I was born on third base in this industry.' – Cody Rose of All Elite Wrestling on @AETV #TCA19 #AEWonTNT

Watching critics realize Jungle Boy is Luke Perry's kid is fun to see because once you know, you can't unsee it. #AEW #TCA19

.@MeanQueenK says she feels #AEW is incredibly collaborative and ego-free. @NylaRoseBeast says she feels heard and like her voice matters - they ask everyone their ideas. #TCA19

the more graphic aspects of #AEW will be saved for the PPV/streaming shows, rather than @AEWonTNT. So Dustin Rhodes won't be bleeding out weekly. #TCA19

Cody Rhodes notes the wrestling industry hasn’t been controlled by wrestlers. All Elite Wrestling is which is revolutionary. #AEWonTNT #TCA19 #CTAM
