Whether that works out for Taz or not remains to be seen but we won&#8217;t complain at getting an important match as AEW heads back to the road for TV.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
