A major AEW schedule change has been announced ahead of John Cena's last WWE match at Saturday Night's Main Event.
On Dec. 13, Cena is scheduled to take part in his final-ever WWE match against the winner of the “Last Time is Now” tournament. However, with Cena's highly anticipated match approaching, Tony Khan's AEW has announced a significant change. With the holiday season and WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event lined up, Dynamite and Collision in December are set to undergo time shifts.
Warner Bros Discovery's recently announced its December schedule for HBO Max, and the Dec. 13 Collision from Cardiff, Wales, will now take place at an updated time slot of 4:30 PM EST. This new change will allow it to avoid a direct clash with John Cena's retirement special event on Saturday Night's Main Event. Following this, the Dec. 17 edition of Dynamite will be three hours long, including one hour of Collision in it.
Later that week, on Dec. 20, Collision will air a 2:30 PM Eastern taped show. The Dynamite on 34th Street episode is scheduled to commence at 6 PM EST on December 24. Following this, Christmas Collision will begin at 9 PM EST on Thursday, December 25, followed by the Worlds End PPV on Saturday. The New Year’s Smash edition of Dynamite will, however, air in its usual time of 8 PM Eastern.
