This announcement comes after WWE announced NXT’s opening match will be Adam Cole defending the NXT Championship against Finn Balor. That match will also be commercial-free.
Wrestleview will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite and WWE NXT, the final episodes of both for 2019 as Christmas falls on a Wednesday, starting at 8 p.m. Eastern/7 Central.
Kicking off #AEW Dynamite this Wednesday, it’s a dream tag team match as #TheLuchaBrothers face Kenny Omega & Hangman Adam Page, and as always – it will be commercial-free!
