Earlier this month, WWE and the USA Network moved NXT from Wednesday nights to Tuesday nights, which ended the Wednesday Night Wars with AEW Dynamite, due to the belief that since NBCSN would be shutting down this fall, NHL games would air on Wednesday nights on the USA Network.
NBC Sports opted not to renew its long-running deal with NHL and Turner Sports has now signed up to share the TV rights for the league with ESPN. Turner is the parent company of TNT.
This deal won’t impact Dynamite, but there is also something else to consider.
The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggested that it could have an impact on the second AEW series that was set to debut on a Turner network later this year.
