Is AEW Rampage live or taped?

AEW Rampage has featured many notable developments in its first two episodes!

AEW Rampage is the newest weekly show of All Elite Wrestling, airing on Friday nights at 10 p.m. There has been a lot of chatter surrounding the show on social media, with many having doubts regarding whether it is taped in advance or will air live on TNT.

The answer is that AEW Rampage will sometimes air live on Friday nights, and sometimes a taped version will be aired. For instance, AEW Rampage's first two episodes, which went down on August 13th and August 20th from Pittsburgh and Chicago, respectively, were live.

However, this week's episode was taped in advance after Wednesday night's AEW Dynamite in Milwaukee. A similar pattern of alternating between live and taped could be followed going forward.

AEW Rampage is the fourth weekly show produced by Tony Khan's promotion, with Dynamite being their flagship program. The other two shows, AEW Dark and AEW: Dark Elevation, are YouTube exclusive programs that provide a platform for the company's rising talents.

What can fans expect from this week's AEW Rampage?

Though this week's AEW Rampage will be a taped version, fans can still look forward to a fun and exciting hour of action. AEW Champion Kenny Omega will team up with Brandon Cutler to take on his All Out 2021 opponent Christian Cage and The Elite Hunter, Kazarian.
