WWE officially announces new show to counter AEW Dynamite during Royal Rumble

WWE made a sudden announcement earlier tonight during the Royal Rumble PLE. It seems that they now have a new show to directly go against AEW Dynamite.

During their debut in 2019, Dynamite aired on Wednesday nights at the same time slot as WWE's NXT, which was now also a two-hour show. This was coined by many as the Wednesday Wars, as both shows were competing in terms of viewership and ratings.

The black and silver brand's weekly show eventually moved to Tuesdays, which meant that the Tony Khan-led promotion was the sole show on Wednesday nights.

WWE has just announced the debut of their show Evolve. This will showcase some of their rising prospects in competition before they make their way to the three major brands. It seems that several of the recently signed ID talents may be given a platform on the new show.

This will begin airing on Wednesday, March 5 at 8 pm ET on Tubi, at the same time slot as AEW Dynamite. This may be the new rendition of the Wednesday Wars in 2025.

Seeing as Evolve was only revealed tonight, there is little to no information regarding this, or the format the show will have. This could end up being an entirely new brand of its own, with new champions being crowned.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
