Backstage News On All Elite Wrestling Using ‘Next Dynamite’ Graphics Instead Of ‘Next Week’
Last night’s episode of AEW Dynamite saw a lot of notable happenings, but one thing that stood out to viewers was the fact that they were advertising matches for “next Dynamite” instead of saying next week.
Some of the graphics on #AEWDynamite said ‘next Dynamite’ instead of ‘next week’… is it possible the show doesn’t or can’t air next week?

According to PWInsider.com, this was done by design due to the fact that next week’s show is not guaranteed to take place due to the ongoing coronavirus epidemic. As of now, AEW Dynamite IS scheduled to air live on TNT last week but the decision regarding the graphics was due to several people in the company—including Tony Khan—not wanting to take anything for granted at such a hectic and uncertain time. According to the report, the plan was to just get through last night’s tapings and didn’t want to “be so arrogant as to assume” they’ll 100% be allowed back on live TV next week.
