All Elite Wrestling announces the first official match for its October 2nd TNT debut.
Following yesterday’s news on how and when to get tickets for All Elite Wrestling’s first ever TV episode, AEW has now announced the first match for that debut TNT offering.
Taking to Twitter, it’s been revealed that Cody Rhodes will face Sammy Guevara on that Wednesday, October 2nd show.
AEW has yet to officially reveal the name of their weekly TNT show, although the title is expected to be revealed imminently. Right now, all indicators seem to suggest that the TV show will be titled Wednesday Night Dynamite.
The first episode of AEW’s two-hour weekly product will air live from Washington, D.C.’s Capital One Arena, with tickets to go on sale this Friday. Price-wise, tickets range from $20 all the way up to $250 – with a commemorative take-home chair included as part of the most expensive tier of tickets.
Going forward, AEW will run a different venue each Wednesday for its TV episodes. On TNT, the show will air from 8pm – 10pm Eastern Time.
At this stage, it’s yet to be confirmed which other cities and venues will be hosting AEW’s TV offerings, although more concrete information on all of this is expected to be drip-fed to the wrestling world over the next several weeks as AEW gears up for that big October 2nd TNT debut.
