Only a handful of shows remain before AEW heads back down under for the second edition of “AEW Grand Slam: Australia” on Valentine’s Day. And when AEW descends upon Sydney for the massive event, it should air for a bit longer than the primary edition did. Based on TNT’s current schedule for February 14, “Grand Slam: Australia” is about to run from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. This could mean the show might be receiving an prolonged run-time, making it roughly the identical length as “AEW Grand Slam: Mexico City” was last June. The prolonged time suggests AEW might be seeking to load up “Grand Slam: Australia” for the second 12 months in a row.
Although no matches have been announced for the TV special as of yet, it’s expected the show will feature Australian born talents “Timeless” Toni Storm and Kyle Fletcher in outstanding matches, especially after Storm headlined the primary “Grand Slam: Australia” by defeating Mariah May to win back the AEW Women’s World Championship. A possible AEW World Championship defense from MJF could possibly be within the cards as well, as he has potential challengers in Brody King, Kenny Omega, “Hangman” Adam Page, Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe, and Andrade El Idolo all staking a claim for a title shot.
While “Grand Slam: Australia” might be broadcast for US fans to see, it should not be the one event AEW holds in Australia. Just in the future later, the promotion will travel to Brisbane, the positioning of last 12 months’s “Grand Slam: Australia,” to carry a rare live event. Presently, it’s believed the event might be just for the fans of Brisbane, and won’t stream on TNT, TBS, HBO Max, or some other AEW platforms.
