AEW CEO Tony Khan has addressed speculation surrounding AEW Collision possibly moving to a different night in the future. While Khan remains confident in the show’s performance on Saturdays, he acknowledged that any potential change would depend on AEW’s network partner, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).
Khan Praises Collision’s Growth on Saturdays
Speaking about Collision, Khan expressed pride in how the Saturday night program has developed its audience.
“I think we have a great thing on Saturdays,” Khan said. “We’ve consistently been one of the top shows in our time slot, and we’ve been building a great audience. ‘Collision’ is having a great year.”
He also pointed out how the show has performed well relative to other cable programs and believes it has built strong momentum heading into 2025.
Could Collision Move to a Different Night?
Despite his satisfaction with Collision’s current schedule, Khan made it clear that he’s open to change if WBD suggests it.
“I would be open to basically anything within reason the network asked me to do. I am really very proud of the run we’re having,” Khan explained.
This flexibility could come into play once WBD’s current deal with the NBA expires, as the network will likely reassess its programming strategy. AEW has benefited from sports lead-ins in the past, and Khan acknowledged that these have helped boost Collision’s success.
What’s Next for AEW Collision?
For now, Khan is focused on maintaining Collision’s momentum and ensuring its long-term success, much like Dynamite, which has been a major player for WBD since 2019. While nothing is set in stone regarding a potential schedule change, the AEW boss remains committed to working with the network to make the best decision for the company’s future.
With AEW’s media rights negotiations on the horizon, the placement of Collision could become a key discussion point. Whether it stays on Saturdays or moves to another night, it’s clear that Khan and AEW are ready to adapt.
