Apr 30, 2021

The May 26 and June 2 episodes of Dynamite will be moved to different nights due to NBA playoff games airing on TNT those Wednesdays, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Those would be the shows before and after AEW’s Double or Nothing PPV on May 29.

– The May 26 episode will reportedly move to Friday, May 28 at 10 PM ET. It’s not confirmed why the show is starting at 10, but top guesses for the reason would be so that it doesn’t air directly against SmackDown, or because TNT might have an NBA game on earlier in the night. The Observer says that Dynamite will still air live that night, doing two hours of AEW Dark at 8, then going live for Dynamite at 10.

– The June 2 episode will air on either Friday, June 4 or Saturday, June 5, depending on TNT’s NBA schedule. For now, Friday is the most likely date, the Observer says.

AEW hasn’t officially confirmed the new dates yet.
