Note On AEW’s Decision For Collision Premiere Date – AEW Collision premiered on Saturday night, featuring the return of CM Punk as the show is being built around him.
In the headliner, Punk and FTR went over Samoa Joe, Juice Robinson, and Jay White.
Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that AEW wanted this date because it is at a time of the year without major sports competition in the United States, with the hope of doing good ratings against easier competition. Meltzer said it was a “very strategic night to pick for the debut of this show.”
Now, the promotion looks ahead with the following touring schedule for the show:
- AEW Collision: Saturday, June 24 – Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- AEW Collision: Thursday, June 29 – FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
- AEW Collision: Saturday, July 8 – Brandt Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
- AEW Collision: Saturday, July 15 – Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- AEW Collision: Saturday, July 22 – Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey
- AEW Collision: Saturday, July 29 – Hartford, CT at the XL Center
- AEW Collision: Saturday, August 12 – Greensboro Coliseum Complex in Greensboro, North Carolina
As noted earlier this month, Collision shows struggling to sell tickets. After a couple of weeks, the situation didn’t change a lot (see below).
