AEW announces ‘Title Tuesday’ Dynamite special for later this year

AEW is returning to its home base of Jacksonville, Florida for a pair of shows this October.

The promotion will hold a “Title Tuesday” edition of Dynamite at Daily’s Place on October 7. Daily’s Place will then host AEW Collision the next night on Wednesday, October 8.

Since 2022, Title Tuesday has taken place every October as a special episode of Dynamite. It exists because TBS’ coverage of the MLB playoffs forces Dynamite out of its regular Wednesday time slot one week every year.

The ticket on-sale date for the shows is next Monday (August 18). Hangman Page, Toni Storm, Jon Moxley, Mercedes Mone, Darby Allin, Kyle Fletcher, and Willow Nightingale are featured on AEW’s graphic promoting the events.

Airing on Tuesday means that Dynamite will face competition from WWE NXT on October 7. In 2024, Randy Orton competed in the main event of NXT opposite Title Tuesday. The previous year’s NXT episode was loaded up with appearances by The Undertaker and John Cena.

Daily’s Place holds special significance to AEW as the venue where the company staged its shows throughout the pandemic era. It’s connected to EverBank Stadium, where the Jacksonville Jaguars — owned by the Khan family — play their NFL games.
