Aew S Tony Khan Announces Buy In For This Week S Aew Rampage Will Run Directly Against Wwe Smackdown

AEW’s Tony Khan just upped the ante for this Friday. WWE announced last week that the Oct. 15 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, which has been bumped FS1, will be a “Supersized SmackDown” with an additional 30 commercial-free minutes added to the end and a main event between Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. The news that SmackDown would be running head-to-head with a live edition of AEW Rampage prompted a fiery response from AEW president Tony Khan — “I saw you’re doing a half hour head-to-head with us. I can’t wait to finally beat your main show head-to-head. It’s been a long time coming. See you next Friday for #AEWRampage on @AEWonTNT!”
