AEW Title Tuesday
All Elite Wrestling television special series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AEW Title Tuesday is an annual professional wrestling television special produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Established in 2022, it is themed around championship matches and airs in October as a special episode of the promotion's flagship weekly program, Dynamite on TBS and simulcast on HBO Max beginning in 2025. Dynamite normally airs on Wednesdays but is moved to one Tuesday in October due to a scheduling conflict with Major League Baseball (MLB) postseason games in its regular time slot on TNT Sports channels. The 2025 event was simultaneously part one of the fifth Homecoming special, branded as Homecoming: Title Tuesday. Due to the special airing on Tuesday, it puts it head-to-head against WWE's NXT program.

History
In August 2022, the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) announced that in October that year, their flagship television program, Dynamite, which normally airs on Wednesdays on TBS, would air on Tuesday, October 18, marking the first Tuesday edition of Dynamite since the "Late Night Dynamite" special on September 22, 2020. This one-night change was due to TBS's Major League Baseball (MLB) playoffs coverage.[1] During the day of the event, with four championship matches scheduled for the card, AEW president Tony Khan branded the special episode as Title Tuesday. As a result of the episode airing on Tuesday, it put it head-to-head against rival company WWE and its NXT program for the first time since April 2021; from Dynamite's debut in October 2019, the show went head-to-head against NXT until the latter moved to Tuesdays in April 2021.[2]
A second Title Tuesday was scheduled for October 10, 2023, thus establishing Title Tuesday as an annual television special of Dynamite.[3] WWE would attempt to combat this by airing the first 30 minutes of NXT commercial-free.[4] Title Tuesday again returned on October 8, 2024.[5] NXT had moved to The CW the previous week, and WWE attempted to counter program AEW by making their CW debut a two-week special, with the second part airing against Title Tuesday.[6]
For the 2025 event, which was scheduled for October 7, the special was simultaneously held as the fourth Title Tuesday and part one of the fifth Homecoming special, branded as Homecoming: Title Tuesday. Homecoming is one of AEW's other television specials in which the company returns to its home venue of Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. This would also be the first Title Tuesday to be simulcast on TBS and HBO Max as AEW began simulcasting all of their television programs on Max in January 2025.[7] WWE's counter programming attempt for this year was a special episode of NXT titled NXT vs. TNA Showdown, which was a cross promoted event between WWE's NXT brand and its partner promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).[8]
