In August 2022, the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) announced that in October that year, their flagship television program, Dynamite, which normally airs on Wednesdays on TBS, would air on Tuesday, October 18, marking the first Tuesday edition of Dynamite since the "Late Night Dynamite" special on September 22, 2020. This one-night change was due to TBS's Major League Baseball (MLB) playoffs coverage.[1] During the day of the event, with four championship matches scheduled for the card, AEW president Tony Khan branded the special episode as Title Tuesday. As a result of the episode airing on Tuesday, it put it head-to-head against rival company WWE and its NXT program for the first time since April 2021; from Dynamite's debut in October 2019, the show went head-to-head against NXT until the latter moved to Tuesdays in April 2021.[2]
A second Title Tuesday was scheduled for October 10, 2023, thus establishing Title Tuesday as an annual television special of Dynamite.[3] WWE would attempt to combat this by airing the first 30 minutes of NXT commercial-free.[4] Title Tuesday again returned on October 8, 2024.[5]NXT had moved to The CW the previous week, and WWE attempted to counter program AEW by making their CW debut a two-week special, with the second part airing against Title Tuesday.[6]
For the 2025 event, which was scheduled for October 7, the special was simultaneously held as the fourth Title Tuesday and part one of the fifth Homecoming special, branded as Homecoming: Title Tuesday. Homecoming is one of AEW's other television specials in which the company returns to its home venue of Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. This would also be the first Title Tuesday to be simulcast on TBS and HBO Max as AEW began simulcasting all of their television programs on Max in January 2025.[7] WWE's counter programming attempt for this year was a special episode of NXT titled NXT vs. TNA Showdown, which was a cross promoted event between WWE's NXTbrand and its partner promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).[8]
Seven matches were contested at the event, excluding one match which was contested on the buy-in and four matches taped for AEW's supplementary show Rampage. In the main event, Adam Copeland made his AEW debut and defeated Luchasaurus and in the opening bout, Bryan Danielson defeated Swerve Strickland, earning a guaranteed shot at the AEW TNT Championship. Other matches included Powerhouse Hobbs defeating Chris Jericho, Orange Cassidy defeating Rey Fenix to win his second AEW International Championship, and Hikaru Shida defeated Saraya to win her third AEW Women's World Championship.
The 2024 Title Tuesday was the third annual Title Tuesday television special and took place on October 8, 2024, at Spokane Arena in Spokane, Washington; it was pre-empted from its usual timeslot by Game 3 of the American League Division Series between the New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals. The show aired head-to-head against WWE's NXT, which was part two of its debut on The CW.
The 2025 Title Tuesday, also promoted as Homecoming: Title Tuesday, was the fourth annual Title Tuesday television special, and simultaneously part one of the fifth Homecoming special, which took place on October 7, 2025, at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida; Homecoming is one of AEW's other specials in which the company returns to its home venue of Daily's Place.[19] For the first time for the special, it was simulcast on TBS and the streaming service HBO Max with a special runtime of 2.5 hours. The show aired head-to-head against WWE's NXT, which was broadcast as a special episode called NXT vs. TNA Showdown.
