AEW Dynamite To Have Overrun On TBS This Week
In announcing ANOTHER big match for AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan confirmed a potential overrun.
All Elite Wrestling has been granted permission for this week's episode of Dynamite to run over its allotted two-hour timeslot if required.
Promoter Tony Khan confirmed as much via Twitter on Tuesday, stating that Dynamite's network, TBS, had granted the request. Even if it is only by a few minutes, there is a chance that the show will run longer than usual:-
Thanks to our great fans, great ratings + a great card of matches set for Wednesday Night Dynamite, @TBSNetwork granted us an overrun for #AEWDynamite tomorrow! It may just be a few minutes, but whatever happens there’s a chance we’ll run past 10pm ET/9pm CT tomorrow on Dynamite!

The potential reason for this overrun was then announced 15 minutes later, as Khan confirmed CM Punk would face Penta Oscuro in a first-time match-up:-

This brings Dynamite's total match count up to seven for tonight's episode. This is two more than the usual count, though at least a couple of the contests listed below look like potential squashes - specifically, MJF's quest for revenge against Shawn Dean and Marina Shafir's Jade Cargill warm-up opposite Skye Blue.
The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer has advised viewers to set their DVRs for an extra 30 minutes:-
AEW will have an overrun tomorrow. Set DVR accordingly for an extra 30 minutes.
