AEW is loading up the schedule for the holiday season; company president Tony Khan has confirmed the company will offer AEW Holiday Bash, a two-night event across the December 22 episode of AEW Dynamite and a special Christmas Day edition of AEW Rampage.
Khan broke the news during an appearance on Rasslin’ with Brandon F. Walker, where he noted that he hopes to make the Holiday Bash special a new tradition, much like the company’s annual Thanksgiving eve show.
“Dynamite and Rampage are a huge part of the lifeblood of AEW, and it’s more important than ever to have great matches on Dynamite and Rampage,” said Khan. “We’ve offered great cards. Winter is Coming, this coming week on Wednesday night Dynamite is gonna be one of those great cards. We have a great show on Long Island to build up Winter is Coming and I think great moments ahead this week. And really all through the holidays.
“The Holiday Bash is coming to Greensboro, and the Holiday Bash, huge plans for the holidays in Greensboro to make that hopefully a tradition. Just like we’ve made Thanksgiving eve in Chicago a tradition, maybe we can make a Holiday Bash in Greensboro [a tradition]. I really thought it was a perfect place to do the Holiday Bash, which is gonna take place over Dynamite and Rampage across the holidays….”
Khan elaborated by confirming that Rampage will be held on Saturday, Christmas Day, instead of its usual Friday slot, which would coincide with Christmas Eve.
“I want people to remember the last month of Dynamite on TNT as the best month so we’re hitting a lot of big markets,” said Khan. “Like I said we’ll have, you know, we’ll be on Long Island, we’ll be do Winter is Coming in Dallas, a Holiday Bash in Greensboro across Dynamite and Rampage, which is a special Christmas night Rampage. We’re not gonna have Friday night, Christmas Eve. Rampage is gonna end up being on Saturday night on Christmas, which is fun. We’ll have some great wrestling on Christmas for everybody.”
AEW previously held the Holiday Bash special with a single episode of AEW Dynamite on December 23, 2020; this show aired in the program’s typical Wednesday night slot.
