With the NBA set to return, TNT has been forced to make some changes to air dates for upcoming episodes of All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite.
The Wednesday, August 19th episode is now set to air on Saturday, August 22nd at 6:00pm ET / 3:00pm PT. Then, the Wednesday, August 26th episode will air following the NBA coverage, with a replay set for Thursday, August 27th at 8:00pm ET/PT. Finally, the Wednesday, September 16th episode will air Thursday, September 17th at 8:00pm ET/PT.
This couldn't really come as a worse time for AEW as All Out is on the horizon, and they've only just managed to regain the lead over NXT on Wednesday nights. However, it's obviously going to be interesting seeing how the show does with a different timeslot and how much NXT is hurt by that NBA coverage.
It's been said from the start that Dynamite will be forced to move nights due to TNT's sports coverage, so it is what it is, but these shows are either going to pull out all the stops or be filler. Given AEW's track record, the latter doesn't seem too likely, but we'll obviously keep you updated.
What do you guys think about this news?
