AEW Modifies Long-Term Plans For Collision

The expectation is All Elite Wrestling will be holding more Thursday night tapings of AEW Collision moving forward, according to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Meltzer noted the "main talent" are fans of taping on Thursday nights as it means they don't have to stay on the road for an extra couple of days or go home and then travel again a couple of days later.

Taping Collision on a Thursday does harm the show's ratings but Meltzer claimed the damage wasn't enough where it was worth AEW sacrificing the goodwill they have with talent.

Collision has often aired live on a Saturday night since the series premiered in June 2023, but more episodes have been taped on Thursday in recent months.

Collision will remain on Warner Bros. Discovery networks in the new year when AEW's new TV deal with WBD takes effect. Collision is planned to remain on the air throughout the deal which will run through December 2027.

AEW taped this week's episode of Collision on Thursday night. All the spoilers are available now.
