History

On May 15, 2019, it was announced that TNT would air Dynamite. This was the first time that a professional wrestling weekly program was shown on TNT since WCW Monday Nitro from World Championship Wrestling (WCW) ended on March 26, 2001.[9] Livestreaming would be streamed on B/R Live.

In August 2019, WWE announced that they would be moving NXT in the same time slot as Dynamite, which would have them end up competing with each other and would help usher in the Wednesday Night Wars.[10] An average of 1.409 million viewers tuned into the debut episode of Dynamite. This was the largest television debut on TNT in the last five years.[11] The war ended when WWE announced that they were moving NXT to Tuesdays on April 13, 2021.[12]

On January 5, 2022, Dynamite moved networks from TNT to TBS.[13]
