AEW President Tony Khan wasted no time promoting AEW Dynamite moments after WrestleMania 42 Night One went off the air on Saturday night.
Khan took to X and posted, “AEW is where the best wrestle! This week, don’t miss Wednesday Night Dynamite, live nationwide 8e/7c/6m/5p, early 5pm start time on the west coast this week! Thank you all who watch AEW! See you at Dynamite this Wednesday night!”
Khan published the message within minutes of WrestleMania 42 Night One concluding from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, making it a direct play for the attention of wrestling fans who had just finished watching WWE’s biggest show of the year and perhaps, winning over some fans on social media who have been critical of tonight’s show.
This week’s AEW Dynamite airs Wednesday at 8PM ET on TBS and HBO Max from the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon with an early 5PM PT start time on the west coast. The show will also include an AEW Collision taping.
