History of AEW Collision
AEW is an American pro-wrestling promotion that is considered to be perhaps the only serious threat to WWE's immense fanfare around the globe. It all started with a simple twitter post by the renowned wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer who believed that no promotion other than WWE could sell more than 10,000 tickets at the time. His comment was taken as a challenge by Cody Rhodes who was at the time working with ROH (Ring of Honor). He alongside Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and other ROH and Indies wrestlers organized All In in 2018 which sold out more than 10,000 tickets within thirty minutes. Sensing that the monopoly in pro-wrestling could be disrupted, Tony Khan joined hands with Cody Rhodes, Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega to create a new pro-wrestling promotion. Tony Khan is the son of Pakistani-American Billionaire Businessman Shahid Khan.
All Elite Wrestling started its operation in 2019 with Dynamite which aired on Wednesday Nights and on TNT. Soon, Dark and Dark Elevation were added which were uploaded on YouTube every week. The library took a huge jump when Friday Night Rampage was announced in August 2021. It started airing on TNT and Dynamite was shifted to TBS. AEW changed the game in 2023 when it trademarked Collision, later revealed to be the name of a new weekly program that will air on Saturdays. Upon Collison’s introduction, Dark and Dark Elevation were folded. The tapings served the purpose of elevating lesser-known talents, something Friday Night Rampage has since then taken care of.
The first AEW Collision was held on June 17, 2023, and marked CM Punk’s return to the company. The show airs on TNT and so does Rampage. Only Dynamite airs on TBS, which is also a Turner-production network. As Collision takes place every Saturday, it goes head-to-head whenever any WWE Pay-per-view event takes place. Earlier ROH Fight Club took place at the same time on Saturday. But as ROH and AEW are both owned by Tony Khan, Fight Club's schedule was shifted to give Collision the prime time on Saturdays.
