All Elite Wrestling and TNT announced today that AEW’s weekly TV series will premiere on Wednesday, October 2, but the name of the show was not revealed. Cody Rhodes, Brandi Rhodes, Awesome Kong, Nyla Rose and Jungleboy spoke about AEW at the 2019 TCA summer press tour and it was noted that the name of the show should be announced in the next week or so.

It’s been rumored that the show will be called Wednesday Night Dynamite.
Cody Rhodes also noted that fans shouldn’t expect AEW to sound and look like WWE, and that the bloodier content will be saved for pay-per-views.
"The thing we have to do is not focus on WWE. The thing we're providing is very different. WWE coins themselves 'sports entertainment.' We coin ourselves 'pro wrestling.' I don't think the shows will look or sound like one another." – @CodyRhodes #AEW #TCA19

Cody says the more bloody content will likely be reserved for the big events/PPVs, probably not on the weekly series. #AEW #TCA19

Brandi Rhodes also noted that AEW usually won’t ask their talents to wrestle more than once a week.
#AEW is usually only asking their wrestlers to perform one night a week. "Well being is very important to us" says @TheBrandiRhodes, saying that they want their performers to be able to spend more time at home and be healthy. #TCA19
