AEW Games Twitch Announcement
During the video, Allie and Aubrey were joined by the Dark Order's Evil Uno who had his own announcement to make to the fans.
The reveal was that AEW Games is going to have a joint channel on Twitch.tv that would include several of AEW's male and female superstars playing a wide variety of games.
This seems like a good idea to capitalize on a majorly of AEW's Superstars having separate Twitch channels with their own loyal fanbases.
