5 major changes AEW must make before launching their TV show this October

All Elite Wrestling has only been around for less than a year now, but the new promotion has certainly made some serious waves since arriving on the scene.

Earlier today, the company founded by Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks revealed that the promotion will be launching their very own TV show, which will begin airing on October 2.

And though this is a huge step for the new company which has received rave reviews so far, some things need to be addressed before that date.

Here are five major changes that All Elite Wrestling should definitely look at making before they launch their TV show this October.

#5: What is PAC doing?

The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion appeared at AEW's launch this past January.

When AEW launched in January this year with a huge press conference, it was the recently released WWE Superstar Neville who made the biggest impact. Under his old name PAC, the former Cruiserweight Champion put everyone on alert, and after a messy departure from McMahon's company, fans were excited to see what was going to happen.

However, despite being advertised for events, PAC is yet to compete for AEW and very little has been mentioned since then about his future. This hasn't stopped fans from asking about what PAC is going to be doing with the company, though many feel that it's time the new promotion gave some answers.

Though this could be part of some long storyline which will help build up the Geordie wrestler's mystique, AEW could definitely do with giving the fans some idea about what they have planned for PAC, who everyone knows is far too talented a star to go to waste.

#4: The Librarians

The Librarians have been hit with harsh criticism since their debut.

If The Librarians were in WWE, they would be getting brutally destroyed on social media on a weekly basis, and though AEW has received plenty of support with their message of bringing change, even they can't get away with this.

The team of Leva 'Blue Pants' Bates and Peter Avalon are talented in the ring, but it seems that nobody could make the gimmick work, as it was met with crickets when it was debuted. This reaction has gotten even worse with each appearance by The Librarians, as it seems nothing can save the gimmick, and with the TV launch taking place this October, time is running out for the right changes to be made.

Hopefully creative can work out the kinks and give them a better role in the company when TV arrives

#3: Show length

AEW's Fight for the Fallen event lasted over five hours long.

If there's one thing WWE is criticised for above all others, it's the length of their events. Earlier this year, WrestleMania 35 was received with rave reviews for its action and storytelling but got a lot of flack for its seven-hour run-time.

This problem has been shared by All Elite Wrestling though, as whilst Double or Nothing was kept compact, the two shows that followed have been very long, with Fight For The Fallen in particular going on for around five hours. Simply, this is too long for any shows in 2019, and it's clear that AEW need to sort this out before their TV launch later this year. If not, one can only hope that fans will be just as vocal in their displeasure with AEW events being too long, as they are with WWE.

#2: Fix the commentary team

Jim Ross is arguably the greatest commentator of all time.

Whilst there have only been three shows for AEW so far, all of which have had slight tweaks to the commentary booth, the announcing for all three shows have left a lot to be desired. Despite having arguably the greatest Western commentator ever in Good Ol' J.R. Jim Ross, the Oklahoma native has very little chemistry with Excalibur and Alex Marvez.

Whilst J.R. is a true legend, it seems that the WWE Hall of Famer has lost a step or two over the years, and it is hard for fans who grew up listening to his epic calls in WWE now hear the icon react so poorly in 2019. However, the main problem is Marvez, who has offered very little on any show so far. With commentary being such a big part of the product, this must be ironed out straight away.

#1: Taking shots at WWE

Cody Rhodes destroyed a Triple H themed throne, despite trying to establish AEW as separate to WWE.

From the moment AEW was announced back in January this year, they have always stated that they are not a competition, but instead, are an alternative to the WWE. If this truly is the case though, then the new promotion is certainly doing poorly, as AEW have gone out of their way to take cheap shots at WWE and their higher-ups.

Fans only need to look at Cody Rhodes' entrance at Double or Nothing, attacking a Triple H throne to show just how silly these attacks have gotten. Whilst some fans might find that funny, all it does is serve to prove that WWE is still the number one game in town, and that is something that AEW must stop doing, instead, putting the focus on themselves instead of their competition.
