Backstage News On AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday Buy In Between Eddie Kingston & Minoru Suzuki

All Elite Wrestling Dynamite and WWE NXT will go head-to-head on Tuesday, October 10 and both promotions have loaded up their respective shows. NXT will feature John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Paul Heyman, and Asuka, while The Undertaker has also been teased for the show. AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday, meanwhile, will have the in-ring debut of Adam Copeland as well as multiple championship matches and Bryan Danielson vs. Swerve Strickland.

Both shows will be commercial-free for the first 30 minutes but Tony Khan looked to up the ante on Monday night as he revealed Eddie Kingston will defend the ROH World Championship and NJPW STRONG Openweight Title against Minoru Suzuki on a special Title Tuesday Buy-In. The match will air at 7:30 PM ET on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. 

AEW did something similar in 2021 when AEW Rampage went head-to-head with SmackDown for 30 minutes, with AEW broadcasting Bryan Danielson vs. Minoru Suzuki on the Rampage Buy-In on YouTube.

Not only was the announcement of Eddie Kingston vs. Minoru Suzuki done at the last minute, the match itself actually came together late on, Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio.

While discussing WWE NXT and AEW Dynamite going head-to-head, Meltzer stated: "You really should be worried about yourself, but I mean, I understand, it's kind of like this big thing and everything. And then AEW added and this is like a legitimate last-minute add. It's not like this was planned a week ago or anything. This was a last-minute add, they're gonna have Eddie Kingston defend the New Japan STRONG, and the ROH World Title against Minoru Suzuki, on Twitter, on Facebook at 7:30.

"So they will have - they will be on first, which is in theory an edge, but it's really, I don't think it's that much of an edge because we've seen this before. I mean they'll have 100,000 people watching that, maybe more, but you know, somewhere in that range, because we saw that when they did Bryan Danielson and Minoru Suzuki and so it's something. And what the hell we're getting a great match that was not planned."

AEW Dynamite will also reportedly have a 10-minute overrun in a further attempt to help the ratings.
