It seems that... just like with Wrestlemania moving to 2 nights... the matches that would've comprised NXT TakeOver: Tampa Bay are being divvied up over the next 2 weeks of regular NXT on USA programming... starting with tonight

But first, like usual... AEW Dynamite... and a big change coming for Dynamite, if not tonight then very soon, as the parking lot for Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Fla. has been taken over by government officials for COVID-19 testing... forcing AEW to move its tapings to the home of wrestling greats like the Ultimate Warrior, The Destroyer, Giant Gonzalez, & Papa Shango... Parts Unknown... though I believe tonight's episode will be fully in Daily's Place

Kenny Omega battles Trent Beretta

The Murderhawk Monster Lance Archer makes his AEW in-ring debut... surely against a jobber

AEW reveals the last 4 competitors... who are in the bottom half of the bracket... in the tournament to crown the 1st ever AEW TNT Champion

The competitors in the top half of the TNT Title bracket do battle in a tag team match tonight as Cody & Darby Allin team up to take on Shawn Spears & The Spanish God Sammy Guevara

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla., NXT on USA has what amounts to night 1 of TakeOver: Tampa Bay... at least with the main event

In a match that was surely going to be in TakeOver had it been allowed to go on... Keith Lee defends the NXT North American Championship in a triple threat match against Dominik Dijakovic & Damian Priest

Who will be the 6th & final competitor into the Ladder Match to determine the #1 Contender for the NXT Women's Championship? The losers of the previous 5 qualifying matches do battle in a gauntlet match... Dakota Kai, Xia Li, Shotzi Blackheart, Kayden Carter, Aliyah, & Deonna Purrazzo (yes that's 6... Aliyah lost a match while Li was beaten up backstage prior to her match last week against Aliyah)

Velveteen Dream battles Bobby Fish as Dream tries to get into a match with Adam Cole for the NXT Championship

That & more fun stuff on AEW Dynamite & NXT on USA

AEW supposedly taped a bunch of extra stuff last week, including a title match between Moxley and Hager. Who knows when we'll see that stuff. The Darby Allin vs Kip Sabian match last week was also taped. I imagine some, if not all, of the show tonight will not be live.

Just to clear up some confusion, Matt Hardy did not teleport last week.

I don’t understand why they are having Omega and Trent wrestling. It’s a match no one has asked for.

Cody should not be in the low card tournament. He doesn’t need to be there. He main events with no belt needed. Cody is Cody. You’re watching. Jungle Express minus the short kid should be here. Have Lucha face Hagar. We want that match. Have Jungle face Butcher or Blade & overcome adversity.

he's using his name to try and build up others...and probably in this case... also build up the new championship

I don't think AEW is going to want to see it as a "low card" title... but rather a mid-card belt and someone who ultimately will be a viable world title contender

ETA: no... I don't believe Cody will be the 1st AEW TNT Champion

Cody's here to put Darby over. They're obviously building to Cody vs Lance Archer at the ppv.

oh... I need to send an apology to Austin Theory

apparently Theory was out of position for that dive by Montez Ford on Monday's Raw b/c that dive was never supposed to happen

Rollins was supposed to hook Ford's foot and trip him... but Seth was late and Ford decided to just roll with it and do the flip instead of "cut, do the spot again"

That's when I flipped over and realized who was announcing NXT.

Unpopular opinion time: I don't remember when Cody became a top-card guy who is a big draw.
