AEW Dynamite Reportedly Airing Friday, May 28 Due To NBA Playoff Schedule; Possible Pre-Emption In June
AEW Dynamite will be switching things up temporarily next month due to NBA Playoff action.
According to this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the normally scheduled episode of AEW Dynamite on May 26 will be moved to Friday, May 28 at 10 pm EST. The reported plan is for AEW to host four hours of programming, with the first two hours being AEW Dark matches from 8-10 pm, followed by a two-hour Dynamite broadcast at 10 pm.
It was also noted that the show will be pre-empted the following week on June 2, but the plan for that week’s show has not been determined yet. It’s “most likely” that Dynamite would air on Friday, June 4 that week, but June 5 was also discussed as a potential air date, depending on how the NBA schedule shakes out.
AEW will also be producing a Countdown show that airs May 29, which would promote the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view on Sunday, May 30.
