Are fans hyped for the release of AEW: Fight Forever?
One of the more notable details to emerge was that the title could be making its way to Nintendo Switch.
The Switch is a less powerful console when compared to PlayStation and Xbox, so some users, like the one shown below, raised their eyebrows at the platform's mention:
"Who the hell wants it on the Switch?"
