AEW Dynamite fifth anniversary episode to have ‘biggest overrun ever’

To celebrate the show’s fifth anniversary, AEW Dynamite will have an extended runtime on TBS tonight.

AEW owner Tony Khan announced this afternoon that Dynamite will have its “biggest overrun ever” tonight, with the show able to go 30 minutes or more past its usual two-hour runtime. Khan also continued to tease another announcement for today, which — as expected — ended up being AEW’s new media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.

TONIGHT,
to celebrate 5 years of
Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite, TBS has given us our biggest overrun ever for tonight's action, could be a half hour or more!
TONIGHT, 8pm ET/7pm CT

That's not the only announcement today.
I can't wait to celebrate with all of you on TBS tonight!
