Bad Timing: AEW Collision Could Be In Trouble This Weekend

Scheduling conflict. There are all kinds of wrestling shows on the air or online today and at some point, some of them are going to cross over with each other. This can lead to some very bad results for one show, especially if it is up against something that much bigger. That is likely going to be the case again this weekend, as two major shows are going head to head.

This weekend, WWE will be airing its annual Summerslam event, with the show itself starting at 7pm EST and the Kickoff Show starting at 4pm EST. This will be going up against AEW Collision, which will be airing from 5-7pm EST. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the original plan called from Collision to air on Friday but this was changed due to reasons that are not clear. The show is also up against the Olympics, which has led to worry that Collision’s audience could be especially low.

Collision has some good stuff. Check out what has been going on there:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that happens every so often and there is little that can be done about it from AEW’s perspective. Even the Kickoff Show, which is not likely to have any major matches, is going to be a draw because it is connected to Summerslam. Throw in the Olympics and Collision is outgunned in name value, despite likely having a rather good show of its own.
