REVEALED: Why AEW Collision Ended 30 Minutes Early On May 17

Last week’s broadcast of AEW Collision ended up being a bit of a mess for viewers. Those watching were left confused as the usual two-hour long weekly episode of Collision ended half an hour early, with a showing of the Black Adam movie airing instead. Despite promises from Tony Khan that the issue that arose on the East Coast would be rectified on the West Coast airing, the same problem took place again. 

It was cited as a technical issue from a WBD official, and the full airing of AEW Collision Beach Break was eventually added to the TNT app and the MAX streaming service. Fans were able to catch the remaining two matches from the card - The Sons Of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) vs. Cru (Action Andretti & Lio Rush), and Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Wheeler Yuta. 

The real reason for the technical issue may have now been revealed. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the problem with Collision is believed to be due to a corrupted file. This would also explain why Collision on Triller had issues with graphics and other things on the feed.
