Cody Comments on Going Ahead With AEW Shows + Coronavirus Update

At least the next four weeks of AEW Dynamite have been relocated from their original locations due to the coronavirus, and this coming Wednesday’s Dynamite is scheduled to take place at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL.

The city of Jacksonville announced yesterday that they have suspended all events and gatherings, leading to confusion about whether or not AEW will still be able to run next week’s show in the city.

But according to Dave Meltzer, Wednesday’s show will still take place at Daily’s Place, although it will have to have no audience in attendance. AEW originally said that there would be a limited audience, including family and some media, but that looks like it won’t be able to happen now.

Some fans have expressed worry over how AEW’s segments will come across with no audience and Cody Rhodes responded:

A lot of folks are sitting at home. Some scared…all bored. Just like real community leaders have come forward, entertainment leaders have to follow suit(safely). People need to laugh, cry, forget, love, all the good stuff. My personal opinion, we shouldn’t hold back.

Wednesday’s show is going forward with the following matches and segments still advertised:

– “The Dark Order Presents The Exalted One” – The Exalted One will be revealed.

– 6 Man Tag: The Inner Circle vs. The Elite (Participants TBD) – Winners will have an advantage in the “Blood & Guts” match the following week.

– Death Triangle (Pac & Lucha Bros) vs. Best Friends & Orange Cassidy

Dynamite fans – We hope you're ready!
After weeks of taunting, the #exaltedone will be revealed, and the #BestFriends face #TheLuchaBrothers and which team gets the advantage?
