AEW’s television footprint is getting even more robust.
Tony Khan’s wrestling company and Warner Bros. Discovery announced at their upfronts on Wednesday that they are adding a live, two-hour Saturday night show called “AEW: Collision,” at 8 p.m. on TNT beginning June 17.
“We are doubling down on wrestling with “AEW: Collision,” which gives fans two more hours every week,” said Jason Sarlanis, president of Turner Networks. “AEW’s roster of talent has expanded so quickly that we felt it needed another night to bring our audience the epic rivalries, unforgettable matches and stars they love to watch.
“With the addition of ‘AEW: Collision’ on TNT, I’m extremely proud that a Turner network will be the home of Saturday night wrestling for the first time in more than two decades,” said Khan, AEW’s CEO, GM and head of creative. “The debut of ‘Collision’ is significant across numerous sectors including television, wrestling, entertainment and sports, and reinforces AEW as the bold property we envisioned when we launched in 2019.
But the announcement of “headliners” for Collison suggests that their could be some form of a roster split across the shows to keep things fresh, but that remains to be seen.
