There is currently no word on what, exactly, the "change" will entail.

Announced as part of a broader AEW/WarnerMedia release confirming Dynamite's move from TNT to TBS, Battle Of The Belts was initially reported as a PPV-level calibre show on Saturday nights. While originally set to run longer, the specials, starting with this one, will be an hour long.
