Yahoo News AEW announces match based on iconic horror franchise
AEW has given us many unique matches so far in its four-year history. We've had Stadium Stampede, Anarchy in the Arena, and even Mimosa Mayhem.
The company has also had a few tie-ins with entertainment franchises in its time, from House of the Dragon to Shazam.
Now AEW has taken things to the next level, announcing a new match based on the iconic horror franchise The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
