AEW will host its second-ever Tailgate Brawl broadcast just before WrestleDream next month, the promotion’s broadcast partner revealed this week.

A Warner Bros. Discovery press release issued Wednesday showed the company’s programming for October, including what AEW has in store.

As part of the new arrivals, it was unveiled that a “Saturday Tailgate Brawl” will air on October 18 at 7 p.m. ET, serving as the one-hour pre-show before AEW presents its WrestleDream pay-per-view at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri.

While AEW traditionally airs its PPV pre-shows for free on Youtube, the promotion tested out bringing the program over to TV this month with the first-ever Tailgate Brawl before All Out. It now looks as though AEW will do it again next month for the upcoming PPV.

It was also noted in the press release that October 15 will be a special three-hour presentation from AEW on TV. The go-home program before WrestleDream in Independence, Missouri, will see the usual two-hour Dynamite program followed by a one-hour episode of Collision.

AEW similarly did this last week, presenting a “September to Remember” three-hour TV special as the go-home broadcast before a PPV.
