A copy of the press release is currently circulating on Reddit, with some wondering whether it's legit, but Bleeding Cool can confirm this press release did indeed come from our regular media contacts at TNT, sent out through the usual channels by which our TV section gets press releases. So it is legit, and AEW will really be moved around on the schedule a bit during the NBA season, which is not unexpected. If anything, it will give NXT a chance to finally win a few nights in the 18-49 demo amongst all wrestling shows airing on a Wednesday night.
