The second-annual AEW Summer Blockbuster has been confirmed.

AEW hosted its first-ever Summer Blockbuster TV special last year, a one-night, four-hour broadcast from Portland, Oregon.

The same TV special will return this year, but this time it will be split across two evenings. This year’s Summer Blockbuster is scheduled for June 10 and 11 at the Andrew J. Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The first night will be a live episode of Dynamite, with the second show being a (presumably taped) edition of Collision.

AEW visited the Andrew J. Brady Center for a doubleheader of tapings last August, drawing a crowd of over 1,300 on both nights. 

Along with the two stops in Cincinnati, AEW confirmed two more dates on Monday morning.

It was revealed that the Siegel Center in Richmond, Virginia will host Dynamite for the first time ever on June 3. While AEW has frequently visited Fairfax, Norfolk, and other spots in Virginia, the upcoming show is their debut in the state’s capital.

And a live edition of Collision will take place on June 6 from the Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Ohio. AEW’s last visit to the venue was back in 2024 for an episode of Collision which attracted over 2,500 fans.
