March 23 AEW Collision preempted due to NCAA basketball tournament

Men’s NCAA basketball tournament coverage will result in some changes to AEW’s schedule for next week that will include no episode of Collision.

Early in February, it was reported that the Wednesday, March 20th edition of AEW Dynamite from Toronto, Canada, would be followed by a live edition of Rampage due to NCAA coverage that Friday. Both shows will air on TBS.

It has since been confirmed that there will be no Collision on Saturday, March 23rd due to the tournament. 

Starting this Saturday, AEW is beginning a four-show Canadian tour that will see them visit Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec City, and London, Ontario, over the next two weeks.

The last time Collision was preempted was last month due to NBA All-Star Weekend. That followed preemptions for Saturday pay-per-views like November’s Full Gear and December’s Worlds End.

AEW’s schedule indicates a return to TV normalcy after next week with the next shift coming on Saturday, April 20th when they will air Collision followed by a live Rampage. It’s unclear why the Friday, April 19th Rampage is being preempted, but it’s likely due to either NBA or NHL playoff coverage.
