In a strategic maneuver to draw more eyes on the evening of Tuesday, October 10th, AEW Dynamite has expanded their programming, heating up the wrestling world's competitive landscape. With both wrestling giants, AEW and WWE, vying for maximum viewership, Tony Khan, AEW's President, has played yet another ace up his sleeve.
To give Dynamite an edge, Khan announced a gripping 30-minute pre-show, slated to start at 7:30 p.m., half an hour ahead of the usual 8 p.m. simultaneous broadcast. This bold move will see the much-revered New Japan legend, Minoru Suzuki, going toe-to-toe with Eddie Kingston.
At stake? Both the prestigious Ring of Honor World and New Japan Strong Openweight Championships. History seems to be echoing itself as Khan's current strategy harks back to a similar play from two years ago. October 2021 witnessed an overlap between Rampage and SmackDown due to a programming shuffle.
Responding with agility, Khan had then announced a Rampage pre-show that directly competed with SmackDown, featuring a marquee match between Minoru Suzuki and Bryan Danielson.
