AEW has confirmed that this week’s AEW Dynamite will air, as usual on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
The promotion tweeted, “#AEWDYNAMITE WILL AIR AS USUAL THIS WEDNESDAY 8pm EST on @TNTDRAMA (Yes, caps weren’t necessary. But, here’s a picture of @orangecassidy for no reason).”
Originally the plan was a one-hour episode on Wednesday following NBA coverage and Thursday was going to be the usual two-hour episode.
So far the card for Wednesday is the following:
* AEW Champion Jon Moxley to appear
* Lance Archer and Jake Roberts to appear
* NWA Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa vs. Ivelisse
* AEW Tag Team Champions FTR vs. The Jurassic Express
* Santana & Ortiz vs. Best Friends (Parking Lot Fight)
* Private Party vs. Chris Jericho & Jake Hager
* Hangman Page vs. Frankie Kazarian
* MJF in action
There are a few possibilities for next week’s AEW Dynamite episodes on TNT.
If the NBA Playoffs series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets ends in 6 games, then Dynamite will air on Wednesday at 8pm ET, its usual timeslot. If the series goes to 7 games, then the regular weekly Dynamite episode will air at 8pm ET on Thursday night. We will know the status of Dynamite after Monday night when the two teams play Game Six.
AEW has had plans to air a one-hour edition of Dynamite, which would air following the Wednesday NBA game at around midnight, and that episode is being taped today, according to Wrestling Observer Radio. If Dynamite ends up airing in its normal timeslot next Wednesday, then the one-hour Dynamite show will be moved to Tuesday, September 22 instead.
It was noted that none of the announced matches will air on the one-hour Dynamite show, which is also being taped today. The following matches and segments have been announced for next week. It was noted that the segment with Archer and Moxley will air on the two-hour show.
* AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and #1 contender Lance Archer will talk
* NWA Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa will defend against Ivelisse
* Best Friends vs. Santana and Ortiz in a Parking Lot Brawl
* AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR vs. Jurassic Express in a non-title match
* Chris Jericho and Jake Hager vs. Private Party
* “Hangman” Page vs. Frankie Kazarian
* MJF will be in action

Rusev aka Miro was revealed as Kip Sabian’s best man last night on AEW Dynamite.
Sabian then once again introduced his best man and former WWE star Rusev aka Miro walked out.
Miro talked about being under a glass ceiling for the past ten years with an imaginary brass ring at the top, then said you can shove that brass ring up your ass. “Elite recognizes Elite,” he added. “My name is Miro … and I’m All Elite.”
According to sources, Miro has indeed signed with AEW. We’re told his deal lasts for over a year. AEW confirmed this after he made his debut by announcing Miro is “All Elite” on Twitter.
As you’ll recall, Rusev was released from WWE in April alongside many other wrestlers. This was said to have been done in an effort to cut costs in the wake of the pandemic.
Tonight’s AEW Dynamite episode airs on TNT from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida.

Hangman Page and Kenny Omega (c) vs. FTR w/Tully Blanchard
Winners: FTR and new AEW World Tag Team Champions
– Post-match, FTR gives Page (who’s still down on the mat) a beer and head to the back. Omega then gets a ringside table, like he’s gonna whack his partner. He then tosses the table aside. Page goes over to hug or something, Omega doesn’t catch him as he falls to the mat. Omega then kicks the beer away (hitting the camera perfectly, btw), gives Page a look, then heads to the back. Omega heads to the back and asks Matt and Nick Jackson if they saw what happened. He says he’s done! He walks out to the outside with them. Omega blows off some steam as Matt and Nick try to keep him at the venue. Omega says it’s time for a clean sweep, a clean break, go back to the way things were. Omega gets in a car and heads off. Young Bucks didn’t leave with Omega.
