Professional wrestling is arguably at its peak at the moment. WWE is consistently breaking attendance and gate records, while AEW recently smashed the record for the highest attended wrestling event at All In. After the latter promotion acquired the Rated-R superstar, Edge, Tony Khan made a major announcement regarding his debut. 

The WWE Hall of Famer will face Luchasaurus in his first ever match for the Jacksonville-based promotion on next week’s Dynamite. Moreover, the mentioned edition of the show will air on Tuesday instead of its designated Wednesday slot. Interestingly, this puts them head-to-head with NXT as well, which gained a lot of attention online.
