AEW Rampage Moved To Earlier Time Slot For May 5 Episode
Another preemption for AEW Rampage in the United States
AEW Rampage continues to be moved around by TNT, their TV partner in the United States.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has reported that Rampage on May 5 will air at 5:30 pm ET because of the network's coverage of the NHL playoffs. Rampage typically airs at 10 pm ET in the United States but the Friday night show has been preempted several times over the past couple of months.
Rampage was moved twice in March because of TNT's coverage of March Madness and the United States Men's National Soccer team. The April 14 Rampage was then preempted for coverage of the NBA playoffs, beginning at 9:42 pm ET. This did have a positive impact, though, and the lead-in resulted in a ratings boost for Rampage.
Last week's Rampage was moved from Friday to Saturday night at 10 pm ET and this week's Rampage will be brought forward, with the show set to air at 5:30 pm ET on Friday, April 28. It has already been announced that Naturally Limitless, the team of Keith Lee and Dustin Rhodes, will be in action together on the show.
