As PWMania.com previously reported, AEW is rumored to be launching a new Saturday night show called Collision. The show is scheduled to air on June 17th, 2023, as a two-hour program on TNT.

The show joins Dynamite, a two-hour TBS program that airs every Wednesday night, and Rampage, a one-hour TNT program. Neither AEW nor Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed the new show’s existence, but will most likely do so this month at the UpFronts.

Until recently, AEW also aired Dark and Dark: Elevation on YouTube every Monday and Tuesday. These shows were used to promote the development brand while also giving new talent a chance. They’ve signed a lot of talent after wrestling tryouts on the shows.

As previously reported, FITE TV aired a special episode of Dark: Elevation, claiming it to be the final episode. This week, AEW also did not air new episodes of either show.

Dark and Dark Elevation, according to Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast, is coming to an end:

Zarian reports, “AEW Dark and Dark Elevation have ended for the time being. This in part has to do with AEW signing a new deal for AEW Collision to air on Saturdays. Part of the new deal is that AEW Wrestling content will exclusively air on WBD. As of today, this doesn’t include ROH.”
