AEW Collision ends early due to technical issues
UPDATE:
The West Coast feed of AEW Collision ended the same as it did on the East Coast: with ‘Black Adam’.
Similar to the East Coast feed, TNT’s West Coast feed started airing ‘Black Adam’ a half hour early, cutting off the last 30 minutes of Collision. Shortly before 9:30 pm PT, Tony Khan apologized again on social media for the mishap, saying it was due to ongoing transmission issues and the show would go up on Max “ASAP”.
Original story:
Technical problems forced AEW Collision to end early on the east coast.
During Saturday’s show, the Max stream suddenly ended around the 90 minute mark, notifying viewers the show had ended. Ironically on TNT, the film ‘Black Adam’ starring The Rock, which was supposed to follow the show, aired 30 minutes early instead. A few minutes into the movie, the channel began showing a crawl notifying viewers the rest of Collision wouldn’t be airing.
“Due to technical difficulties, AEW Collision is not airing tonight,” it read. “Please check allelitewrestling.com for wrestling updates.”
On social media, Tony Khan wrote that due to problems with the studio transmission, the rest of Collision wouldn’t air on the East Coast but would air in full on the West Coast and would also be avaliable on Max Saturday night.
“We’re having technical problems with our studio transmission of Saturday #AEWCollision tonight! I’m sorry for the inconvenience to all of you great fans! We’ll have the complete show up on @StreamOnMax + in its entirety on @TNTdrama West 8pm PT/9pm MT/10pm CT/11pm ET tonight!,” he wrote.
Two matches ended up not airing on the east coast: Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes vs. Cru in a number one contender’s match for the AEW Tag Team titles and Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Wheeler Yuta, which was to headline.
