AEW Dynamite and NXT will go head to head once again this week as Dynamite will air in its regular Wednesday time slot. AEW announced on Twitter that this week’s show will air on Wednesday and not the possible Thursday show that had been planned due to the NBA Playoffs.
AEW and TNT had a plan to air a one-hour special episode after the NBA Playoffs finished on Wednesday and a full two-hour episode on Thursday. However, the NBA Playoffs will not take up Dynamite’s slot after all, which means the show will go on as originally expected for Wednesday night.
Dynamite and NXT last ran head-to-head on August 12th. Since that time, Dynamite has aired on Saturday and Thursday, then returned to Wednesday on September 2nd only to see NXT move to Tuesday for two nights due to the NHL Playoffs.
Here is the full announcement below by AEW:
#AEWDYNAMITE WILL AIR AS USUAL THIS WEDNESDAY 8pm EST on @TNTDRAMA
