AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite Start Date REVEALED?
When do AEW plan on holding their first ever TV show?
Last week brought news that All Elite Wrestling had registered "Wednesday Night Dynamite" as a trademark months after doing the same for a Tuesday evening show, and it looks like previous reports of an October start date still ring true.
Per Dave Meltzer in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW plan on holding the first episode on 2 October - the very same week that WWE SmackDown transitions over to Fox on Friday nights.
This looks set to be one of the biggest wrestling weeks of the year, particularly with Fox supposedly asking boatloads of celebrities to attend the 4 October SmackDown, and WWE desperate to present themselves as the "big leagues" against AEW's supposed small-time operation.
AEW are yet to confirm the news themselves. This will come in time, and with the promotion teasing something big on 4 July, perhaps that's when they'll drop the bomb. Alternatively, they may choose to do it during this week's Fyter Fest pay-per-view or at Fight for the Fallen on 13 July.
Let's hope that whatever happens, AEW Dynamite knocks it out of the park, and the renewed competition spurs WWE to better themselves (and their opponents) with Raw and SmackDown.
