TNT ( Turner Network Television) is launching a second night of professional wrestling with "AEW: COLLISION"! This new, weekly, LIVE, two hour show will feature AEW stars, Thunder Rosa, Miro, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs and Adrade El Idolo, with the first show going LIVE on June 17th. This announcement came at Warner Brothers Discovery's annual UPFRONT presentation in New York at Madison Square Garden last week.

TNT was the original network used to launch AEW's flagship show, Dynamite in 2019. They moved the show over to TBS in 2022, where it airs every Wednesday night at 7pm / Central.
Jason Sarlanis, the President of Turner Networks said, “AEW’s roster of talent has expanded so quickly that we felt it needed another night to bring our audience the epic rivalries, unforgettable matches and stars they love to watch. Adding ‘Collision’ to our programming mix on TNT will allow us to satisfy the massive demand we’ve felt from our hardcore fanbase and be the ultimate complement to ‘AEW: Dynamite’ on TBS.”
While there's been a lot of speculation on AEW: COLLISION being CM Punk's new home, there still has been no confirmation on his standing. Many believe AEW is hoping to save this "surprise" for the premiere on June 17th.
