The official date for AEW Dynamite moving to TBS became official Thursday along with news that Rampage will remain on TNT.

Dynamite will begin in their new U.S. broadcast home on January 5, 2022, first announced in Variety. Until that time, the show will remain on TNT in their usual day and time as expected outside two October NHL playoff preemptions that will see them move to Saturday.

Originally tabbed for TBS as well, Rampage will now remain on TNT in the same Friday 10 PM Eastern time slot it currently occupies. No reason was given for the change in direction.

When the TBS move and the Rampage name was first rolled out in May, four new TNT specials kicking off in 2022 were also announced. While not mentioned in the Variety story, it appears those will remain on TNT as planned.

AEW will air a special two-hour edition of Rampage this Friday that was taped at Wednesday's sold-out Grand Slam event at Queens, New York's Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Cool cool, I got both networks either way so didn’t matter to me where they was, but having a date for the move to TBS for Dynamite is nice.

I definitely think this is much better than both moving to TBS. You get AEW exposure on both networks and you don't have to fuck with the TNT Title.

You can even make it like the Rampage TV Title and have it defended regularly on Friday nights.

Even still TNT = Dynamite so it works either way. it doesn’t HAVE to be on the TNT Network to make sense

Agreed, but it makes even more sense now.

Speaking of which, they moved Dynamite off TNT. Should have been the other way, but no worries.

it also lets them keep the tnt title without looking weird and keep all the branding since they are on both networks. good call.

I'm just going to say it, too. I think TNT is going to be begging them to come back in a year or two. I have my doubts hockey is going to pull in better numbers consistently. and I'm saying that as a Canadian. we will see though!

TBS sucks though. Wish they'd both just stay on TNT.

TNT and TBS are owned by the same people.

TNT is a way better network though. TBS is syndication reruns of Family Guy and 3rd Rock of the Sun
