All Elite Wrestling made some changes to its programming this past weekend. Due to the NCAA tournament, it aired AEW Collision in two one-hour episodes on Saturday and Sunday.

Andrew Zarian of Beyond The Bell revealed (per Fightful) that Warner Bros. Discovery is open to making further changes to the schedules of future episodes of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision as the NHL Playoffs approach. Zarian also stated that All Elite Wrestling could air a four-hour special or a multi-hour show.

Zarian said, “Spoke to someone a couple weeks ago, and they were telling me that these are experiments that Warner is willing to try. College basketball takes precedence, the NBA All Star weekend takes precedence. Rather than canceling the show, let’s put it on a different time slot and see if we could do something with it, maybe you’re going to attract different types of fans. We have another opportunity for this during the Stanley Cup, during the NHL Playoffs. So listen, anything could change here. I heard from two sides, from Warner, that during the Stanley Cup, there’s going to be an opportunity to do something very big. The way that it was presented to me is that it is a possibility of a four-hour special happening, or multi-hour. The idea is still soft. It could be just Dynamite on and then followed by a Collision, so a four-hour block.”
