WWE Raw live tonight at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT on Netflix from the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.
WWE and AAA’s upcoming Worlds Collide event may be airing live after all.
Earlier reports indicated that Saturday’s show from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois would be taped and released at a later date rather than broadcast live. The news surprised many fans, particularly because the event is scheduled for the same day as AEW All Out.
However, a new report suggests those plans have changed.
According to Andrew Baydala, who cited conversations with multiple WWE sources over the weekend, the current plan is for Worlds Collide to stream live on YouTube this Saturday. If that remains the case, the event would begin at 8:00 p.m. ET, one hour after AEW All Out is scheduled to start.
Prior to the reported change, YouTube and Club WWE had been discussed as potential platforms for a delayed broadcast. The latest update indicates YouTube is now expected to serve as the live home for the event.
The card is set to feature a mix of WWE and AAA stars, with AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio previously announcing several high-profile matches.
In the featured six-man tag team match, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, and El Grande Americano are scheduled to face Omos, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh.
Elsewhere on the card, La Catalina will make her first defense of the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship against Roxanne Perez, while Penta and Rey Fenix reunite as The Lucha Brothers for a tag team match against representatives of Los Perros del Mal.
The show is also scheduled to include a number one contender’s match for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship featuring Axiom, Je’Von Evans, EK Prosper, and Mini Vikingo. In addition, Fatal Influence will face Las Toxicas, while Dragon Lee is set for singles competition against Jack Cartwheel.
Another multi-person match will see Mr. Iguana, La Parka, Adelicious, and Mascarita Sagrada take on Mini Abismo and The Vanity Project.
Additionally, 2026 King of the Ring winner Oba Femi is expected to appear during the event.
As of now, WWE has not officially announced the reported broadcast change, but if the current plan holds, fans will be able to watch Worlds Collide live on YouTube this Saturday night.
A major development has reportedly emerged in Paramount’s effort to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, a deal that could ultimately impact one of AEW’s most important business relationships.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Paramount has reached a settlement with California and several other states that had filed lawsuits seeking to block the proposed $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The settlement has not yet been officially announced, but the report indicates an agreement is expected to be finalized shortly.
The acquisition has faced significant hurdles despite receiving approval from regulators in nearly 70 jurisdictions. A coalition of 12 state attorneys general, along with the Writers Guild, challenged the deal in court, arguing that it raised antitrust concerns. The legal battle delayed progress on the merger and placed its future in question.
Recent settlement discussions reportedly gained momentum after several states softened their opposition. Paramount is said to have offered a number of concessions, including commitments related to theatrical film releases and television production output.
Among the reported terms are guarantees to release at least 30 films annually in theaters, along with financial penalties if those targets are not met. The agreement is also said to include independent editorial oversight for both CBS and CNN.
According to the report, state attorneys worked through the night to finalize the framework of the deal, with California playing a central role in the negotiations. States that initially held out on a settlement reportedly agreed that continuing the legal fight without California’s support would be difficult to justify.
If approved, the settlement would remove a major obstacle standing in the way of the acquisition and could save Paramount substantial penalties that would otherwise begin accumulating next month.
The situation is noteworthy for wrestling fans because Warner Bros. Discovery remains AEW’s longtime media partner. Since the promotion launched in 2019, AEW programming has aired across WBD-owned platforms including TNT, TBS, and HBO Max.
While questions have occasionally been raised about how a corporate restructuring could affect AEW’s future media landscape, there has been no indication that the promotion’s position is in jeopardy. In fact, reports have previously suggested that AEW President Tony Khan has been optimistic about working with Paramount leadership should the transaction move forward.
For now, the reported settlement represents another significant step toward completing one of the largest media mergers in recent years, while AEW’s existing partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery appears unchanged.
If approved, the settlement would remove one of the largest remaining legal challenges facing Paramount’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. However, the transaction has not yet closed, and the settlement itself still had not been officially announced at the time of the report.
The reported agreement would represent a significant step forward for the deal rather than its completion, with the acquisition still subject to any remaining closing requirements and approvals.

Ilja Dragunov’s next chapter may be closer than many fans expected.
After weeks of speculation following his WWE departure, a new report from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims that Dragunov has already signed with AEW and could be making his debut in the near future.
The report follows a recent update from Fightful Select, which stated that the former WWE United States Champion was expected to join AEW barring any unforeseen circumstances. Meltzer’s latest report goes a step further, indicating that an agreement has already been reached.
According to Meltzer, Dragunov should be starting with the company “very soon.”
Many fans had anticipated seeing the “Mad Dragon” appear at AEW All In: London 2026, particularly as the event featured the high-profile debuts of Austin Creed and Kofi as part of The New Level. However, Meltzer noted that contract negotiations and finalizing agreements can often take longer than expected, which may explain why Dragunov did not appear at Wembley Stadium.
With All In now in the rearview mirror, attention turns to where Dragunov could make his first appearance for the promotion.
One possibility is AEW All Out 2026, which takes place next weekend and has already sold out. AEW will also head to France for AEW Grand Slam France in October, a market familiar to Dragunov from his years competing across the European independent wrestling scene.
Beyond his eventual debut, the report also touched on how Dragunov could fit into an already crowded AEW roster. Meltzer noted that while Dragunov is widely regarded as one of the top in-ring performers in wrestling, AEW continues to add talent, creating increased competition for television time.
For now, AEW has not officially announced the signing. However, if the report is accurate, fans may not have to wait much longer to see Dragunov make his debut for the company.

WWE is reportedly discussing contingency plans for this year’s Crown Jewel event following an updated travel advisory issued by the U.S. State Department.
Crown Jewel remains scheduled for November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but recent reports indicate company officials have begun internal conversations about the situation after Saudi Arabia was placed under a Level 3 “Reconsider Travel” advisory. According to the report, WWE still intends to hold an event on that date, even if circumstances were to require a change in location.
The advisory cites regional security concerns, including the threat of missile and drone attacks, as well as risks related to armed conflict and terrorism. While Saudi Arabia as a whole is listed at Level 3, certain areas near the Yemen border are designated Level 4, which advises against travel.
Discussion about the situation surfaced during a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, where Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer addressed the advisory and its potential impact on WWE’s upcoming international schedule. Meltzer noted that Crown Jewel is the immediate concern, while also pointing out that WrestleMania 43 is currently scheduled for Riyadh in 2027.
Additional reporting from WrestleVotes stated that internal discussions are taking place within WWE regarding the travel advisory. While no final decision has reportedly been made, a company source confirmed the matter is being evaluated.
According to the report, WWE is expected to hold a show on November 7 regardless of whether it ultimately takes place in Riyadh. The date itself is reportedly tied to an ESPN-related commitment, making the event difficult to move from the calendar even if the venue were to change.
The company has already adjusted its schedule leading into Crown Jewel, with Raw and SmackDown reportedly set for a rare double taping at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center prior to the event, giving talent and staff additional travel flexibility.
Financial considerations have also been part of the discussion. Alvarez noted that significant revenue is associated with the event, while Meltzer suggested that, if necessary, WWE could potentially make up a postponed Saudi event later under its existing agreement rather than losing that revenue outright.
This is not the first time WWE has monitored developments in the region before a major Saudi Arabia event. Earlier this year, the company reportedly evaluated regional tensions before ultimately proceeding with scheduled plans. WWE President Nick Khan previously stated that the company relies on both internal security assessments and government guidance when determining whether international travel is appropriate.
As of now, Crown Jewel remains scheduled for Riyadh on November 7, and WWE has not announced any changes to the event.
WWE star Tiffany Stratton gave fans a scare after a training session at the WWE Performance Center took an unexpected turn.
Earlier today, Stratton was livestreaming on Twitch while working out at the Performance Center when an aerial training drill went wrong. During an attempt to flip from the ropes to the floor, Stratton failed to complete the rotation and landed awkwardly near ringside.
Video from the stream showed Stratton’s head appearing to make contact with the ring apron before she fell to the floor. The impact immediately drew concern from viewers and those present during the training session.
After the landing, Stratton grabbed her neck while the person filming checked on her condition.
The WWE star quickly reassured those watching that she was okay.
“I’m good. Oh my gosh. I’m okay. That was scary. I’m okay, I hit my head but we’re good.”
The clip quickly circulated online, with fans expressing concern after seeing the awkward landing. As of this writing, Stratton has not provided any additional update beyond her comments on the livestream.
Major League Wrestling has secured a new distribution deal that will bring its flagship program to one of the largest free streaming platforms in the United States.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, MLW Fusion will begin airing on Tubi starting Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET. The weekly series will continue to stream in that timeslot moving forward, though the length of the agreement was not disclosed.
The deal marks a significant milestone for MLW, particularly given the promotion’s history with the platform.
MLW revived Fusion in May 2026 after the show had been dormant for roughly three years. Since its return, episodes have been available free of charge on YouTube. The move to Tubi potentially expands the show’s reach considerably, as the streaming service reportedly boasts approximately 110 million monthly active users.
MLW CEO Court Bauer emphasized the importance of keeping the promotion’s content easily accessible to fans.
“We built MLW around that, no paywalls, no subscription barriers, nothing standing between a fan and the show, and Tubi shares that same fan-first philosophy at scale,” Bauer told The Hollywood Reporter.
The agreement is particularly notable given the legal battle that previously involved both companies.
In January 2022, MLW filed an antitrust lawsuit against WWE, alleging that the larger promotion interfered with business relationships and media opportunities. Among the claims was an allegation that WWE had influenced Tubi, which is owned by Fox, to discontinue a potential partnership with MLW while SmackDown was airing on the network.
The lawsuit remained active until December 2023, when the two sides reached a settlement.
Additional details emerged in February 2024 through a TKO Group Holdings earnings report, which disclosed a $20 million settlement related to WWE’s antitrust litigation. While MLW was not specifically named in the filing, the report referenced the antitrust lawsuit involving WWE.
Now, several years after the dispute began, MLW has officially landed on the very platform that was once at the center of its legal claims.
The first episode of MLW Fusion on Tubi is scheduled to air Thursday night, giving the promotion a significantly larger platform as it continues to grow its audience.
