Both WWE and AEW will have their normal schedules shaken up this week and as a result both companies have already announced the lineups for Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, NXT 2.0, AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage. Dynamite has been pushed from its usual Wednesday night slot to Saturday night due to the NHL season, while SmackDown will air on FS1 this week along with an extra 30-minute commercial-free block. Those 30 minutes will run head-to-head with a live edition of Rampage from Miami, which has prompted AEW president Tony Khan to claim on social media that Rampage will finally beat WWE’s flagship show.
Check out everything both companies have announced in the list below. Do you think Rampage will draw a bigger audience than the “Supersized” SmackDown? Let us know down in the comments!
