All Elite President Tony Khan recently ended AEW Rampage, which could be the start of a new WWE-esque show, according to wrestling veteran Bill Apter. However, details for any such show are not official at this time.
Wrestling promotions like WWE and All Elite Wrestling have previously aired shows that focus on aspects outside of the ring, giving fans a peek into the personalities of the stars. For instance, the All Access show from the Jacksonville-based promotion allowed fans to witness backstage scenes in 2023. WWE Confidential was also something similar, hosted by Gene Okerlund.
On Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, veteran journalist Bill Apter shared his opinion that Tony Khan could be replacing Rampage with another such show. He stated:
"If I remember right, there's gonna be some other like documentary type of shows on AEW also under their banner. I know WWE is doing that too. Or maybe they are making space to introduce Ring of Honor on that same channel." [1:13 onwards]

Another WWE veteran commented on the end of AEW Rampage
The end of Rampage surprised many, but WWE veteran Vince Russo thinks it was almost inevitable, considering the circumstances.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the veteran provided an explanation for the end of the AEW show and stated:
"I always said that the key to my success, you know, with WWE, TNA, WCW, was always consistent good shows week after week after week. I think it was the opposite for AEW. I think it was consistently bad shows week after week after week that has led to a dramatic drop in audience. Chris, Vince McMahon made it real simple for me. If it's good, they will watch it."

As of now, it remains to be seen what Tony Khan plans to do next.
