AEW Collision/WBD upfronts MegaThread

never made sense to me youd keep Punk off Dynamite anyways, I just think he will be used from Collision to give it a different feel but if punk or other stars are in major programs, they aint gonna keep it to one show. the bloodline isnt only on SDL and that give rating boons to both shows

That’s more or less what I said when Rampage was created. A soft split that can rotate when needed.

I do think Collision will for a minute have sort of a locked in roster. The recent ads I’ve seen this past few days makes it seem like Collision is specifically for all the talent that have had issues with their booking on dynamite and they’re making this a kayfabe issue as well. The AEW Twitter was specifically talking about Punk, Rosa, Miro, Andrade etc all making Collision home after not being used elsewhere.

I’m actually hoping more than a roster split, we get different booking on collision and dynamite.

I think toull get segments on dynamite to hype big matches and PPV stuff, but probably keep the matches on collision.
