Scheduling Conflict for AEW Grand Slam Australia on TNT Raises Questions

Scheduling Conflict for AEW Grand Slam Australia on TNT Raises Questions – AEW Grand Slam: Australia, set to air on February 15, faces a significant scheduling challenge. Although announced to broadcast on tape delay at 8 PM Eastern on both TNT and Max, a conflict arises as TNT is slated to air All Star Saturday Night for NBA’s All-Star Weekend at the same time. The annual basketball showcase is one of TNT’s most high-profile events, creating uncertainty around AEW’s premiere international event.

Following the announcement by AEW President Tony Khan earlier today, the initial promotional post was quickly deleted. AEW subsequently released a revised graphic (see below) confirming the event date but omitting a start time, adding to the speculation about how the conflict will be handled.

With no official statement yet from AEW regarding the conflict, potential solutions include delaying Grand Slam until after NBA coverage concludes or moving the broadcast to TBS. Max could still stream the show at its originally scheduled time. Fans await clarification as AEW navigates this logistical hurdle.

This development adds to what many perceive as growing disorganization within AEW’s scheduling and promotional strategy. The Grand Slam event was initially set for the outdoor Suncorp Stadium but was later moved to the smaller Brisbane Entertainment Centre. While no official reason was given, low ticket sales are widely believed to be the cause.

Critics have pointed to these changes as signs of inconsistent planning that may alienate fans. The removal of air time details without a clear follow-up has further compounded frustrations.

So far, the only match confirmed for the event is AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May defending her title against Toni Storm, who earned her shot by winning a Casino Gauntlet match.

As AEW continues expanding internationally, this situation highlights growing pains within the company. Many fans are eager for clear communication to ensure a fair viewing experience and smoother event planning going forward.
