AEW Collision to Debut on June 17; Thunder Rosa, Miro, Samoa Joe, More to Feature

All Elite Wrestling announced Wednesday it's launching a new weekly show, AEW Collision.

The program will debut June 17 and air every Saturday night for two hours starting at 8 p.m. ET. Samoa Joe, Thunder Rosa and Miro were included among the stars who will feature regularly.

This is the third weekly in-ring show for AEW, joining Dynamite on Wednesdays and Rampage on Fridays.

"With the addition of AEW: Collision on TNT, I'm extremely proud that a Turner network will be the home of Saturday night wrestling for the first time in more than two decades, AEW CEO Tony Khan said. "The debut of Collision is significant across numerous sectors including television, wrestling, entertainment and sports, and reinforces AEW as the bold property we envisioned when we launched in 2019."

The official announcement comes as little surprise since rumors of a new show for AEW already emerged. On May 10, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer reported the reveal was expected at the Warner Bros. Discovery upfronts presentation.

The inclusion of specific wrestlers in both the press release and promotional imagery could be intentional. Per Fightful Select (via Wrestling Inc's Nick Miller), some on the AEW roster believe there could be a defined talent split for shows.

There's one name in particular fans are following closely.

CM Punk hasn't wrestled since beating Jon Moxley at All Out last September. He and others were disciplined for an altercation that occurred backstage at the show.

The idea of Punk's return has gained steam in recent weeks. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via Matthew Wilkinson of Wrestling Inc) reported the debut of Collision could be the occasion for his comeback, though the former world champion wasn't mentioned in the announcement.
