Tony Khan Reveals AEW Rampage Will Air On Christmas Day

Wrestling after the turkey

After stuffing their faces with turkey, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, sprouts, parsnips and cranberry sauce, All Elite Wrestling fans will be able to feast their eyes on an episode of Rampage on Christmas Day. 

Tony Khan revealed on Rasslin' with Brandon F. Walker that Rampage won't air on Christmas Eve - which is on Friday this year - and will instead air on Christmas Day from the Greensboro Coliseum. The show is set to be taped on Wednesday, December 22 following that day's edition of Dynamite. 

Khan also revealed that he wants to make Holiday Bash at the Greensboro Coliseum an annual tradition. 

"It's important because Dynamite and Rampage are a huge part of the lifeblood of AEW and it's more important than ever to have great matches on Dynamite and Rampage. We've offered great cards. Winter is Coming this coming week on Wednesday night Dynamite is going to be one of those great cards. We have a great show on Long Island to build up Winter is Coming and I think great moments are ahead this week," Khan began.

"Really, all through the holidays. The Holiday Bash is coming to Greensboro and the Holiday Bash. Huge plans for the holidays in Greensboro to make that hopefully a tradition just like we've made Thanksgiving Eve in Chicago a tradition. Maybe we can make Holiday Bash in Greensboro a tradition."

"This is the final month of Dynamite on TNT. Rampage is gonna stay every Friday night on TNT for a long time. Dynamite, the flagship, the OG, moving to TBS in January, and this is the final month of shows on TNT and I want to go out with our best month yet. I want people to remember the last month of Dynamite on TNT as the best month so we're hitting a lot of big markets," he continued.

"I said, we'll be on Long Island, will do Winter Is Coming in Dallas, Holiday Bash in Greensboro across Dynamite and Rampage, which is a special Christmas night Rampage. We're not going to be on Friday night, Christmas Eve. Rampage is gonna end up being on Saturday night on Christmas, which is fun, has some great wrestling on Christmas for everybody. Then the final Dynamite ever on TNT will be on December 29 in Jacksonville, Florida at Daily's Place."

The Greensboro Coliseum is a classic pro wrestling venue and hosted several major Jim Crockett Promotions events, including the first four Starrcades. WWE have also held events at the arena in the past, including King Of The Ring 1999 and Survivor Series 2001.
