#1 Hopefully not true: AEW holding a one-hour 'Battle of the Belts' television special

AEW's reportedly planned special event, Battle of the Belts, which will go down on January 8th, 2022, could be an hour-long show on Saturday night.

During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that the original idea was to hold this television event similar to Rampage's one-hour format. The initial plans, however, could always change as AEW is looking to draw attention with a pay-per-view caliber match card:

"As of right now, it's only a one-hour show that could change because a one hour show doesn't make a lot of sense as far as, like, a Battle of Belts. Because if you're gonna do, like, the original idea of these four specials was to do basically pay-per-view matches, pay-per-view caliber shows, but for free to try to draw a big audience. I think we've already seen a Saturday night that's going to be difficult because, you know, they've done Dynamite on Saturday, and it's done decent in its time slot and everything like that. But it's not drawing a big audience, like Clash of Champions did in the early days," Meltzer said.

We hope this isn't true, as the one-hour format might put limitations on some high-profile championship matches. We've already seen on Rampage how bouts have often felt rushed, not living up to expectations. If AEW is anticipating the Battle of the Belts to be a hit like past years' Clash of Champions, they must add an extra hour to it.
