AEW Dynamite currently airs on Wednesday nights on TNT. However, that was not the original plan that they had in mind. The company wanted Dynamite to run on Tuesday nights instead of Wednesday.
AEW had planned for Tuesday Night Dynamite
AEW had registered trademark for ‘Tuesday Night Dynamite’ but later had to file another trademark of register a trademark for ‘Wednesday Night Dynamite’.
Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, “TNT on TNT.” as it stands for Tuesday Night Dynamite, which would have been a great name whatsoever. But, after it started airing on Wednesday, they kept it simple and called the show ‘Dynamite’.

Bryan Alvarez said:
“You know why it’s just called “Dynamite? They wanted Tuesday Night Dynamite. Tuesday Night Dynamite — TNT on TNT. So everyone who says ‘Oh, NXT had Wednesday and they went ahead’ — no. They wanted Tuesday Night Dynamite. TNT decided ‘oh you’re going to be on Wednesday,” so it became Wednesday Night Dynamite which is not as cool as Tuesday Night Dynamite because now it’s WNT.”
TNT generally airs the NBA on Tuesdays and they decided not to stop airing it and scrapped the plans of AEW.
