AEW pushes back New Orleans debut due to scheduling conflict
Due to a scheduling conflict, AEW has pushed back the date of its New Orleans debut.
It was announced today that AEW will now make its New Orleans debut with the Wednesday, April 13, 2022 episode of Dynamite taking place at the UNO Lakefront Arena. The show had been set for Wednesday, January 12 before being rescheduled.
The show will also include tapings for that week’s episode of Rampage.
Those who have purchased tickets to the show can either have them honored on the new date or receive a refund at the point of purchase.
