AEW Going on Hiatus; Filmed enough Material for several Weeks

[MenacingMonk]

All Elite Wrestling has reportedly halted production of its weekly show Dynamite due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The promotion has filmed enough segments and episodes to continue airing on TNT for the foreseeable future, though it's unclear how long.

The move was reported on Wrestling Observer Radio by insider Dave Meltzer. AEW will be off for an indefinite period of time until thing clear up with the pandemic, Meltzer said.

The company has a pay-per-view event, Double or Nothing, scheduled for May 23. With everything going on, that could be taped too or canceled altogether. AEW has been filming Dynamite inside of empty arenas and other locations in the meantime as they wait to see what will happen in the oncoming weeks.

I expect WWE to announce the same thing after raw tonight. It’s not smart to put your talents and staff at risk for mediocre shows no one is watching. They should focus on producing content for the network and doing watch alongs with the talent via satellite like what they are doing on backstage.

let everyone rest and get healthy and let Vince reavaluate the show and take some time to make long overdue improvements.

Before Mania started, it was announced Smackdown was going to be live this friday. Vince must be broadcasting from his mansion or something.

Lol. It would be dope if they shot a match and cut to him and pat Patterson booking the show by the pool. They could have vinces house have decorations covering all of vinces rumored quirks and interest. Then they could show a guy that looks like trump but never really show their face lol. I mean in this era they could make that work. shyt Vince should have a ICOpro poster in his basement. Ok I may have lost my mind but this needs to happen

I think wwe stopping also cuz I heard they barely got done filming mania and I think this week's shows before Florida went on lockdown. I think orange county has a stay at home order in place so not likely that they can film their. Same thing with aew and duval. I heard they used QT Marshall gym to film some stuff. Think I read that was in Georgia.

Good. WWE should move to showing vault shows perhaps with current roster doing watch alongs or something.

I think the NXT show for Wednesday is the last set of original matches they filmed. Gonna be interesting to see what they do in order to fill the tv time. I'm guessing Mania is going to be shown during Raw/Smackdown at some point.

Last set of tapings they did were in Georgia at his wrestling school. Good for them that they were able to film a few weeks out. Curious what happens if they run out of material before restrictions are lifted.
