This week’s AEW Dynamite will be taking place on Thursday. AEW had to change from their usual Wednesday night timing due to the NBA schedule. However, there is a chance NBA will not be taking place anymore following the horrific shooting of Jacob Blake.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the possibility of NBA not finishing their season.
“Coming off of a big NBA lead-in and not being at 6:00 and being on primetime I actually thought they were going to get their biggest rating in a long time, now not so much. Now it’s an unfamiliar time with no lead-in so it should do much less than usual.”
The Saturday night edition of AEW Dynamite started with over 1 million viewers due to a strong lead-in which helped them get so many viewers. However, if the NBA no longer carries on with their matches, AEW Dynamite will have to air at a different time, without the considerable lead-in.
