-- On the heels of WWE holding NXT at the 2300 (ECW) Arena in Philadelphia, it appears AEW is going to be holding an event of their own at a historic venue. Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast reports that AEW will be holding the Saturday, December 21 episode of Collision at the Hammerstein Ballroom (Manhattan Center). If true, it will be the first ever AEW event at the Hammerstein. It would come on day after ROH holds "Final Battle" at the same site.
-- The Hammerstein Ballroom has hosted multiple ROH events in the past and has been the site of many ECW shows as well. Over the summer, AEW President Tony Khan had hinted that he would be looking at the Ballroom as a potential site calling the suggestion a "very interesting idea."
