AEW Dynamite is broadcasting this week from an undisclosed location (somewhere in the South East of the United States from reports) - as ever, forum discussion rules for this show and NXT are available on the AEW section of the board.
Next week sees the start of an 8 man tournament to crown the first AEW TNT Champion, which is the company's version of a Television Championship. The second half of the brackets will be revealed tonight, while the first half was revealed last night on AEW Dark. Tonight, the first half meet in tag team action, as Cody joins forces with Darby Allin to take on Sammy Guevara and Shawn Spears. It's Cody/Spears and Allin/Guevara next week, with the winners meeting each other in the semi finals - the final will take place at Double Or Nothing in Las Vegas (hopefully) on May 23rd. Who gets the momentum heading into the tournament?
Coming fresh off a defence of his AAA Mega Championship, Kenny Omega is back in action tonight, as he takes on another former New Japan competitor in Trent. The Best Friends member has mixed it up in singles competition before in AEW, and even has a win over Pentagon Jr. to his name, but Omega is a different breed altogether. Can Trent possibly earn a shot at the AAA Mega Championship with a win tonight?
Jake "The Snake" Roberts has brought Lance Archer into AEW to take out Cody, but they will have to wait longer to get their hands on him, as Cody has put his Executive VP hat on and stated that Archer has to build a record in AEW before facing him. As a result, Archer makes his in-ring AEW debut tonight against an unconfirmed opponent. Who will be the poor lamb being led to the slaughter?
All this, plus maybe more Matt Hardy teleportation, tonight from 8/7c on TNT in the States, TSN in Canada and FITE TV worldwide!

Given the taping schedule now, the guys who made it to Dynamite and DARK's tapings for this week are the faces we might see for the next month or at least few weeks, while others are unfortunately gonna have to sit on the backburner whether they didn't want to risk it or were literally on lockdown and unable to travel.
So... it's just gonna be interesting to see how the show is structured and who we don't see on Dynamite for awhile aside from possible BTE skits.

I dunno if I'll watch this one. Sleep's been a bit screwed up in the evenings lately so might be too tired at that time for it. I'll watch it if I'm awake but it's not really an interesting enough card for me to bother setting my alarm for it.

Im hoping they started filming a lot of home stuff and incorporating Being the Elite, Delete Universe, Darby Allin's backyard stuff, etc.

Any idea on what might be happening with the Women's division for this month?
I hope they'll at least get some non-wrestling segments aired (pre-taped promos, vignettes, video packages) if most of them can't be at the shows for a while.

They need segments if they can't have matches. Other than that I have no clue what girls are available. You'd think they could squeeze in some locals for showcases/squashes. This is also me saying "Hey if Abadon is available and able to travel, she'd be nice for the tapings..."

They need to have something with the women's. Surely there's local talent they can use for squashes and on Dark.

Probably on hiatus because they can only use Hikaru and Penelope unless want them to pull a WWE and get a best of 7 between them ala Dana Brooke and Sarah Logan lol

Priscilla would be easier to bring since she is Darbys wife, the coronavirus surely has handicapped the women division.

Since many of them are overseas like Riho, Shanna and Bea, the division has been crippled because of what's going on.

Part of me is hoping to see OC break character & become a Richard Simmons-styled jazzercise instructor for April Fools Day.
You don't wanna know how many months I've spent contemplating that...

Per John Pollock of POST Wrestling last week, they were taping stuff last Wednesday for sure, and possibly last Tuesday. Then you hear a report about how JR said a Moxley/Hager match was taped so it sounds like they have stuff in the can but we don't know the full extent of it. I get Khan wants to keep up with the live aspect of it, but would it really hurt things if he came out and said "we have 6 weeks of TV taped." They have a 2 hour block of TV, they are in a much better position to produce a quality show than WWE who has what...3 times the amount of TV (RAW, SD, NXT, 205 Live)? They could do 3-4 matches per week, interview segments and if they really need to do so, pick a match from the last year's worth of events they've put on.

I can see them putting a tighter grip on that in the future because it restricts the talents they have in case of situations like this.
