AEW Collision Likely Not Going Head-To-Head With WWE WrestleMania 40

TNT's coverage of March Madness will once again impact AEW Collision, this time over WrestleMania weekend.

AEW Collision traditionally airs on TNT at 8 pm ET on Saturday nights but TNT's schedule for Saturday, April 6 has revealed that Collision will air at 11:30 pm ET following post-game coverage of the Final Four of March Madness. The semi-final matches are scheduled to take place at 6 pm ET and 8:30 pm ET. 

Unless night one of WrestleMania 40 lasts over four and a half hours, AEW Collision won't be going head-to-head with WWE's biggest show of the year. Night one of WrestleMania 40 is scheduled to begin at 7 pm ET. 

AEW Collision on April 6 will be taped ahead of time on Wednesday, April 3 following a live episode of Dynamite. AEW Rampage will air in its usual time slot on Friday, April 5 but the show will be taped on Saturday, March 30 following a live episode of Collision, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer. 

No episode of AEW Collision aired on Saturday, March 23 due to TNT's coverage of March Madness. AEW Rampage also aired live on Wednesday, March 20 episode following that night's Dynamite, with the show drawing Rampage's best ratings in almost two years.
