In a massive scheduling showdown, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is taking one of its flagship television broadcasts to international waters for a historical first.
Speaking to TMZ.com, AEW star Chris Jericho announced that the Saturday, November 7, 2026 episode of AEW Collision will air live directly from his signature Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise—putting the show head-to-head on the same day as WWE’s premier international spectacle, Crown Jewel.
A Live Television First On Board The Norwegian Pearl
While AEW previously taped an episode of AEW Dynamite during a past sailing, this event marks the first time in company history that a weekly television broadcast will air completely live from a cruise ship.
Organized in partnership with Sixthman and Norwegian Cruise Line, Jericho detailed the massive logistical undertaking and roster assembly backed by AEW President Tony Khan:
- Massive All-Star Roster: “We are, for the first time ever doing a live episode of AEW Collision from the boat itself,” Jericho revealed. “Thanks to Tony Khan for facilitating this. But this is monumental… You’re going to see probably the biggest AEW roster that we’ve ever had. Whoever Tony books that night for Collision, they’ll be on the boat.”
- On-Board Attractions & Oceanic Titles: Beyond the television broadcast, the cruise will host the Jericho Men’s and Women’s Oceanic Tournaments for custom-created championship titles, alongside MicroMania wrestling and continuous entertainment. “It’s a nonstop barrage of entertainment and fun… when you’re done, you’re almost like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I need a vacation from this vacation.'”
Special Tribute Planned For PAC (Ben Satterley)
Jericho also confirmed that the entire 2026 cruise sailing will be officially dedicated to the memory of PAC (Ben Satterley), honoring his contributions to previous cruises and his historic match against Jon Moxley during the early days of AEW’s partnership with the event.
Reflecting on honoring late wrestling figures, Jericho drew comparisons to previous memorial sailings:
- Honoring Fallen Wrestlers: “Ben [PAC] was on the second cruise. He had a great match with Mox on that cruise… So we’re gonna dedicate this cruise to PAC and to Ben Satterley. We did it with Jay Briscoe when he passed away… You got to pay tribute to the fallen brothers and sisters.”
- A Lasting Legacy: “We’ll always think of something just to make sure that everybody remembers the man that was PAC.”
By pairing a stacked live broadcast with a high-seas fan experience on November 7, AEW looks to create a unique alternative on a date loaded with global wrestling attention.
