AEW Dynamite's New Look: What To Expect TONIGHT
AEW Dynamite gets an aesthetic makeover tonight. Here's an update...
AEW Dynamite's long-awaited aesthetic makeover takes place on tonight's show, with the Tony Khan-helmed promotion set to unveil its first major cosmetic changes since the flagship show debuted on TBS in October 2019.
As discovered by Will Washington of Grapsody, via Fightful Select, Dynamite's longstanding theme song, 'Light the Fuse' by No One Hero, is to remain in place despite the expected changes. A "slight remix" is to be expected, however.
AEW released its latest teaser for Dynamite's new look within a few hours of Washington's report landing. Crucially, it featured 'Light the Fuse', where the original video dropped in December did not:-
Interviewed by Grapsody in December, Tony Khan said the following of Dynamite's impending changes:-
"The wrestling is going to be the same great wrestlers and the same great fans, but it’s in a new city, Seattle, and the look, the changes to the set, and the presentation are going to be changes that we’re going to keep. I’m really looking forward to the new look for the show. I find, in wrestling, when you overpromise, you can disappoint people. It’s a set and a presentation. At the end of the day, the most important thing is what the fans bring, what the wrestlers and the staff of AEW and the crew bring every week, but the look of the show is important too and it’s going to look really cool."
The Fightful Select report notes too that Michael Mansury, AEW's new Senior Vice President & Co-Executive Producer, is expected to "kick his work into full gear" this month. Once considered WWE's air to Kevin Dunn's production throne, Mansury started with AEW last month.
Upon taking the job, Mansury adopted the approach of acknowledging that while there is plenty of work to be done, he'll be able to help improve AEW's TV brand.
