Appearing on Culture State, Tony Khan confirmed that the show will be 60 minutes.

"It's a one hour show. It's a one hour event, so I can't put every belt on the line. It's a great chance on a Saturday night to expand the reach of AEW by giving the fans great championship matches on a Saturday night, which is a night people love watching wrestling, especially for a big event. There is going to be big championship matches. I'm very excited about it," he said.
