It looks like this weekend’s AEW programming will have special start times to accommodate the NBA playoffs.
The TNT schedule currently has Collision set to begin at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night, 30 minutes past its regular start time. After the two-hour show wraps up, AEW will remain live with a one-hour episode of Rampage beginning at 10:30 p.m. ET.
AEW programming is scheduled to start following the conclusion of an NBA playoff game between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat, which will begin at 6 p.m. It’s unclear what will happen if the game ends either early or late.
The AEW schedule has been in flux for the past few weeks due to week-to-week programming changes on both TBS and TNT. At first due to NCAA’s March Madness tournament and now the NBA Playoffs, the usual home timeslots of AEW have had to step aside on a few instances. Just a few weeks back Collision was placed in a late-night spot, beginning at half-past 11 and wrapping up in the middle of the night.
Nothing has been announced yet for Saturday’s AEW card from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida.
