It's the dawn of a new age in professional wrestling, as the new promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) prepares for the premiere of its live weekly television series on Wednesday.
While the wrestling world is abuzz over TNT having a new wrestling program on its airwaves 18 years after WCW folded, fans are ready for a worthy alternative to what the WWE has to offer.
Here's everything you need to know about the premiere of AEW Dynamite.

WHEN AND HOW TO WATCH AEW DYNAMITE PREMIERE
The first episode of AEW Dynamite begins Wednesday, October 2 at 8 p.m. EDT.
Dynamite will air live on TNT. If you have a cable provider, contact them for details on where to find TNT in your area. If you're looking to watch it online, TNT is available via streaming services like fuboTV, Sling TV, PlayStation Vue or Hulu with Live TV.

AEW DYNAMITE PREMIERE CARD
All Elite Wrestling is looking to start with a bang when it comes to Washington D.C. this Wednesday, with a slew of title matches and bouts that can and will affect two other titles.
Confirmed for the show is the AEW Women's Championship match between Nyla Rose and Riho. The winner will be crowned the first women's champion in the promotion's history.
Other matches for Dynamite's premiere include:
Cody vs Sammy Guevara
Cody is scheduled to take on Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship at the Full Gear pay-per-view, but as the EVP said, if he loses to Guevara his new win/loss record may take him out of that match.
Young Bucks and Kenny Omega vs Chris Jericho and two mystery partners
Jericho has been the thorn in Omega's side since their feud in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Now, Omega looks to enact some sort of revenge on Jericho when he teams with Matt and Nick Jackson against Jericho and two mystery partners. Santana and Ortiz, formerly known as LAX in Impact, arrived at All Out to take out The Lucha Bros and the Young Bucks, so it's possible they can team with Jericho in this personal feud.
Adam "Hangman" Page vs PAC
Page and PAC were originally going to face off at Double or Nothing, potentially for the AEW World Championship, but, after some backstage creative differences, the match at the first AEW pay-per-view was called off. These two will finally get to square off in front of the AEW fateful on Wednesday.
MJF vs Brandon Cutler
MJF has talked his way to becoming one of the biggest heels in wrestling, and a lot of it has to do with his continued roasting of Brandon Cutler. Cutler is a relative unknown, but MJF continues to dump all over him for his hobbies and his look. Can Cutler shock AEW and MJF by defeating him?
Jon Moxley, the former Dean Ambrose, is confirmed to make an appearance at the premiere of Dynamite. AEW's plans for Moxley remain unknown, but don't expect him to get to physical as he recovers from a MRSA infection he caught while wrestling in Japan.
