History
On January 15, 2020, there was a US$175 million contract extension announced for Dynamite. One part of the announcement was a new show to be made. It would be revealed as Rampage in May 2021.[8][9]
Rampage competed against WWE's SmackDown once when it aired on FS1 because of the 2021 MLB playoffs. During this night, Rampage defeated SmackDown in their key viewer demographic of people aged 18 to 49. They had 328,000 viewers compared to SmackDown's 285,000 viewers.[10]
On January 5, 2022, it was announced that Rampage and Dynamite would move networks from TNT to TBS.[11] It was then announced that only Dynamite would move while Rampage stayed on TNT.[12]
On December 22, 2024, AEW owner Tony Khan announced that the December 27 episode, which was the New Year's Smash special, would be the show's last episode, since the show was not included in AEW's new media rights agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery, which started on January 1, 2025.[13]
