AEW’s “Shockwave” Project Still in Concept Stage Amid FOX Speculation

The much-discussed “AEW: Shockwave” has been a hot topic among wrestling fans, with rumors swirling about the potential FOX broadcast. However, Sean Ross Sapp’s latest update on Fightful Select’s Backstage podcast suggests the project remains in the “what if” stage rather than anything concrete.

When asked about the show’s potential length—whether it’s being pitched as a one-hour or two-hour program—Sapp admitted, “I have not heard of the length. I think that would be something as part of a discussion.” This makes it clear that the finer details of “Shockwave” are far from being finalized.

Sapp also emphasized that the project is still hypothetical at this point, noting, “It’s a hypothetical; it’s not a confirmed thing,” addressing fans eager for official news. While AEW has trademarked the “Shockwave” name and Swerve Strickland previously hinted at AEW working with FOX, nothing has been officially announced or finalized, leaving the show’s future uncertain.

Fans remain hopeful for more AEW programming, but it appears the company is still navigating discussions and logistics for “Shockwave” behind the scenes. For now, the rumored FOX deal remains just that—a rumor.
