On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, graphics showed “next Dynamite” instead of “next week.” This came when AEW was promoting their upcoming matches. The wording of this had fans wondering if this meant that next week’s episode was being canceled.
Mike Johnson of PWinsider has provided some backstage news on why AEW worded it like this.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
We are told that currently, AEW is still scheduled to broadcast live on TNT.
However, the decision was made to list everything for the “next” Dynamite instead of next week because the company, from owner Tony Khan on down, is taking the stance that no one should be taking anything for granted during these tumultuous times and they did not want to come across as if anything was guaranteed. The team wanted to get through tonight’s episode and as one source stated after the show, “not be so arrogant as to assume” they’ll 100% be allowed back on live TV next week, since things are changing so rapidly due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Hopefully, this helps clear up the confusion.
