Going At It: WWE And AEW To Go Head To Head Next Week

Head to head. The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works in quite a positive way. After decades of WWE dominance, AEW has risen up as another well funded national wrestling promotion. This opens up a variety of new options for both wrestlers and fans, both of whom can benefit from the promotions working against each other. That will be the case again next week in a big way.

This week on AEW Rampage, it was announced that next week’s edition of Collision will take place on Friday night rather than the usual Saturday. As a result, the show which will air on September 6 will go head to head with that night’s WWE SmackDown. This is due to AEW All Out airing on pay per view on Saturday in the usual Collision spot. Rampage will air in its usual 10pm time slot after Friday’s Collision. There is nothing to suggest that the move will be anything more than a one off.

It’s a big show. Check out what Collision has been doing as of late:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that happens every so often and makes for an interesting situation. It should be interesting to see what WWE does when it is up against a show from another promotion, as it could certainly lead to something interesting. That is great to see from the fans and the promotions, and hopefully AEW can do its own thing rather well in the better time slot.
