In a sudden turn of events, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has announced a major update to its programming schedule for this week. The Jacksonville-based promotion, led by Tony Khan, will deviate from its usual schedule due to other major events airing on TNT and TBS, including the NFL, NBA, and NHL playoffs.
As a result, fans can look forward to three hours of wrestling action tomorrow night, with AEW Dynamite being followed immediately by Rampage. However, there will be no episode of Collision this Saturday.
This change in scheduling is not unprecedented, as the company had to adjust its schedule last week, airing Rampage on a Saturday instead of its usual Friday night time slot.
According to Dave Meltzer’s latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the NHL Playoffs are the primary reason for this scheduling shift. While it may come as a disappointment to some fans, the special episode of AEW Dynamite + Rampage promises to deliver plenty of excitement and drama.
One of the most highly anticipated moments of the show is the return of Kenny Omega, who has been absent since December due to health issues.
Although he hasn’t been cleared to compete in the ring just yet, his appearance in front of his hometown crowd in Winnipeg is sure to generate buzz.

With the EVPs seemingly taking control of the show, it remains to be seen what changes and repercussions their actions will have on the entire promotion. Will we see a new era dawn in AEW, or will order be restored?
In addition to these headline-worthy segments, fans can look forward to matches featuring some of the biggest names in the business, including Adam Copeland (FKA Edge), the House of Black, Chris Jericho, Katsuyori Shibata, Mariah May, and Serena Deeb.
