AEW Collision won’t air head-to-head against WWE SummerSlam

It looks like AEW Collision won’t be airing head-to-head with WWE SummerSlam.

TNT’s schedule lists that the Saturday, August 3 episode of Collision will air from 5-7 p.m. Eastern time, meaning that it won’t go against the SummerSlam main card. Collision will instead air opposite the two-hour SummerSlam pre-show. There usually aren’t any matches on the pre-shows for WWE main roster PLEs.

The Collision episode is being taped on Thursday, August 1 before airing on August 3. It’s part of AEW’s upcoming residency at Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The residency consists of five Collisions, a Ring of Honor pay-per-view, and two days of ROH television tapings.

The TNT schedule says a Star Wars movie marathon will be airing in Collision’s regular 8-10 p.m. Eastern time slot on August 3.

Collision typically takes a hit in the ratings when it goes against WWE PLEs, including when the show faced competition from Money in the Bank earlier this month.
