Tony Khan has confirmed that AEW Dynamite and Rampage will have a new look in 2023. 

Our own Dave Meltzer reported last week in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that AEW and Warner Bros have made the decision to “change the look of the show.” Khan confirmed in an interview with TV Insider on Wednesday that the new presentation for Dynamite will debut on the January 4, 2023 show from Seattle, Washington. 

“I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag necessarily, especially so close to the big day. But at the start of 2023, we’re going to open the year on Wednesday, January 4 with the first Dynamite in Seattle, marking a full year of Dynamite on TBS. We’ll definitely have a new look, to say the least. I’m excited about it,” Khan said. 

“I think it’s a nice thing to present to the fans, but frankly, I’ve found more so than ever, the more you talk about these things. When you build them up, you don’t want to create expectations that are impossible. I will say the set will be beautiful though.” 

Khan continued to say that the presentation of AEW Rampage will also change in the new year. The first Rampage of 2023 will take place live from Portland, Oregon on January 6, 2023. 

“The look of Rampage will also be different. This will affect the way people view AEW on Wednesdays and Fridays in terms of presentation with the set and the show with the same great action,” the AEW President continued. 

Khan would continue to talk about the hiring of Mike Mansury as the company’s new senior vice president and co-executive producer and how his work will impact the presentation of AEW programming. 

“Mike just started with us and is a huge acquisition for AEW. He has so much knowledge in TV production. To have him join us as a co-executive producer and senior production executive is really great for us. It’s so important to have someone with his experience. Right now he is evaluating things in terms of presentation. I’m excited about what he will add to AEW.”
