Report: WWE Won't Move Worlds Collide Air Date Despite Going Against AEW Tribute Show - Wrestling Inc.
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) kept its scheduled Worlds Collide repeat with 76,000 global viewers despite internal criticism over competing with an All Elite Wrestling (AEW) tribute episode.
- On Wednesday, WWE broadcast Worlds Collide on YouTube at 7 PM Eastern, airing directly against AEW Dynamite's tribute episode honoring the late World Trios Champion Benjamin Satterley, known as PAC.
- WWE scheduled the repeat before PAC's death on September 27, yet maintained its original start time despite public calls to reschedule out of respect for the late wrestler.
- Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer reported internal frustration over the decision, stating there was "no good reason not to" move the show, which averaged 76,000 viewers globally.
- Mike Johnson of PWInsider confirmed the broadcast would proceed as planned, while Dynamite featured a match between AEW World Champion Will Ospreay and Ricochet honoring the late wrestler.
- Following the initial Worlds Collide event alongside All Out in Chicago on September 26, the head-to-head scheduling suggests fans should expect more competitive programming between WWE and AEW.
