Backstage News On How AEW Will Run TV Tapings Following Collision Debut

All Elite Wrestling announced that the new weekly Collision show will debut on June 17 and air on TNT.

Pwinsider has provided an update on how AEW will run its TV tapings moving forward.

AEW will continue running Dynamite live on Wednesdays and then tape Rampage for Friday nights on TNT. The current plan is to hold Collision live on Saturday nights, followed by TV tapings for Ring of Honor, which will then stream on HonorClub on Thursdays.

With the recent elimination of Dark and Dark: Elevation, many within AEW have found the shows and TV tapings easier to work with.

The absence of additional Dark tapings has also made the live audience hotter and producing the shows less of a weekly chore, allowing more focus for Dynamite and Rampage.

Talents and officials had tremendous fun working the recent House Rules live events in Kentucky and Virginia. The fun can be attributed to the fact that House Rules have a different vibe than televised shows and a “lack of the same type of pressure” that talents normally have for TV tapings.
