Multiple AEW stars including top champion announced for Chris Jericho's cruise
Chris Jericho announced through his Twitter account that several AEW stars will be appearing on the Rock N Wrestling Rager Triple Whammy Cruise on October 23 for that week's AEW Dynamite.
The lineup includes Britt Baker, Frankie Kazarian, Christopher Daniels, Orange Cassidy and Colt Cabana.
The event will air live on October 23, 2021, in a special Saturday Night Dynamite. The move to Saturday took place due to TNT broadcasting the Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers NHL game on Wednesday.
This will be AEW Dynamite's second airing on Saturdays. after they were moved to Saturday in June to accommodate the NBA playoffs.
AEW will move from TNT to TBS in hopes of avoiding shifting their schedules to accommodate NBA and NHL games.
