During Wrestling Observer Radio (Transcription by Ringside News), Dave Meltzer revealed that AEW has yearly plans for their new tournament. The big determining factor will be whether fans tune in.

“So they’re doing this tournament and the idea is to do an annual Summer tournament if it does well in the ratings. The people will decide the future of this. If it does well… the goal is to make it an annual thing, but if it doesn’t do well then that’s business. So, there you go.”
