Next Week's AEW Collision Will Air On Friday Night Directly Against WWE Smackdown

-- Next Friday will see another chapter in the long-running WWE vs. AEW battle with Collision moving to a Friday air date and going head-to-head with Smackdown.

-- Next week's Collision on September 6 will be changing days due to the fact that All Out will air on Saturday, which in turn is happening due to the normal Sunday being the first of the 2024 NFL season. Collision will air its two hours directly against Smackdown with Rampage running immediately after in a three-hour block while that week's Smackdown episode will be the final one on FOX before the show moves to the USA Network.

-- Historically, AEW's weekend shows have fared badly when running against WWE premium live events and it is likely that they will struggle against Smackdown which usually dominates Friday nights.
