Whether the actual name of the program will be called Wednesday Night Dynamite is up in the air. In a press release provided by AEW, the company announced the name at the moment would be All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite.
“Wednesday nights are going to get explosive as All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and TNT reveal the name and first official poster of their upcoming weekly show:All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite,” AEW announced. “As previously announced, starting Wednesday, October 2, AEW will begin airing live two-hour weekly matches on TNT at 8 p.m. ET.

Future matches announced so far will be held in Boston, MA, Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh PA, Charleston, WV, Charlotte NC, Nashville, TN, Indianapolis, IN and Chicago, IL.”

In the TNT promo, AEW is being billed as the next big thing in pro wrestling. You can hear a voice in the background stating, “They saw what wrestling was, and realized what it could be.” With a growing roster and young talent with plenty of potential, AEW is looking to knock their debut out of the park.
The first taste of AEW competing with WWE started last night, as several viewers of NXT noticed AEW commercials on the USA Network.
