AEW's BLOOD AND GUTS Match Has Been Officially Postponed "Until The Time Is Right"

We had a feeling this would happen, and All Elite Wrestling has now officially announced that its highly-anticipated Blood and Guts match has been postponed until "the time is right."

Last week's episode of Dynamite took place with no live crowd and the original plan was to do the same for this event, but the nature of the potentially very violent match (they're hardly going to tear lumps out of each other in a steel cage with nobody to see, after all) has resulted in a delay.

Tony Khan shared the news in a series of Tweets, and revealed that this Wednesday's episode of Dynamite will instead feature Chris Jericho coming face-to-face with Matt Hardy.

Our goal every week with AEW Dynamite on TNT is to produce great shows for our fans, and I believe we do. We felt especially motivated to serve our audience this past Wednesday night given what the entire world is coping with, and hopefully we gave them a well-deserved escape during these trying times. Everyone at AEW is very proud of what we delivered and humbled by the response and the kind words we’ve received from fans and partners throughout the world.

Thank you! We plan to continue answering that calling with live weekly shows every Wednesday night on TNT, but the time and circumstances aren’t right for the card we had planned next week for Blood and Guts. That show will happen when the time is right, but what you can count on instead this coming Wednesday night is a great live episode of AEW Dynamite featuring [Chris Jericho] confronting [Matt Hardy], face-to-face, one-on-one, for the first time ever and a tremendous night of wrestling action.

In the meantime, until AEW Dynamite this Wednesday night, please follow us via social media and please be safe and smart so we can get back to seeing you all on the road as soon as possible. Thank you for making this all possible for everyone here at AEW, it’s a dream come true to be able to do these shows for all of you.
