The announcement that AEW will be expanding its programming lineup has already generated a lot of buzz.
To elaborate on the news, company president Tony Khan appeared on Busted Open and shared some details about AEW Rampage. He made it clear that this new show won’t be a secondary program; he stated that Rampage will be just as significant as Dynamite. Khan also explained the difference between Rampage and both AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation, calling the latter duo “peripheral properties.” Plus, he shared his belief that having this show on a different night was more benficial than adding a third hour of Dynamite, which was a possibility.
"I didn't wanna do 3 hours of Dynamite…it came up about a 3rd hour & I said, 'I really believe on doing it another night'."
