AEW announces delays for New Orleans and New Mexico Dynamite tapings

With the current state of the world this shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone, but earlier today AEW announced that their upcoming television tapings that were previously scheduled earlier this year away from Daily's Place have once again been delayed. There is no doubt that this decision came from AEW owner, Tony Khan.

The shows in question that have been delayed are the December 2 tapings in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the December 30 show in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

Hopefully in due time, once the world returns to normal, companies like AEW and WWE will be able to tour around the world once again. But for now, it is probably best for everyone that they stay where they are. AEW Dynamite airs every Wednesday at 8 PM EST on TNT.
