A journey to change the landscape of the pro wrestling industry culminates on Wednesday night when All Elite Wrestling debuts AEW Dynamite on TNT. The premiere show airs live Wednesday night from Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. beginning at 8 p.m. ET and features some of the top wrestling talent in the world that a much larger audience will now get the opportunity to know just a little bit better. Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Chris Jericho, PAC, "Hangman" Page and more will be in action on the card, and the first ever AEW women's champion will be crowned when Riho and Nyla Rose clash. Jon Moxley will also appear on the show, though he is not announced to compete in a match.
AEW was born out of a commitment from Rhodes and The Young Bucks to prove independent talent could sell 10,000 tickets, which they did with All In in September 2018. The event's success and the financial backing of the Kahn family led to the formation of AEW, further pay-per-view events and the eventual weekly TV deal with TNT -- which begins on Wednesday night as what's being dubbed as the "Wednesday Night Wars" begins.
