It looks like AEW purchased commercial time during WWE NXT and WWE SmackDown this week.
Fans on Twitter noted that they saw commercials for AEW on TNT during Tuesday’s SmackDown and during tonight’s NXT premiere on the USA Network.
The commercials aired in various markets, and it looks like DirecTV was the main provider.
You can see a few of the AEW ads on WWE TV below:
