Rampage to remain on in TNT slot after Collision debut, Elevation future uncertain

[Chris]

AEW Rampage is expected to remain on TNT's Friday night schedule.

With AEW Collision expected to air Saturday evenings on the channel beginning in June, there was some speculation regarding if Rampage would continue. However, our own Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the plans for a new Saturday show will not impact Rampage.

Meltzer wrote:

What we have confirmed is that TNT will continue to air Rampage on Friday nights for one hour.

The future of AEW's streaming shows is not as clear. FITE listed the April 24 edition of Dark: Elevation, which was a "Best Of" compilation, as the series finale.

Meltzer continued:

Nothing new for [Dark: Elevation] was taped on the 4/26 taping because they taped ROH and Rampage. AEW hasn’t said anything specifically in that direction but it is known to be a subject of discussion as to the future of those shows.

Viewership for Dark and Dark: Elevation has declined recently. This week's episode of Dark: Elevation did 113,000 viewers, down 7.4% from the previous episode, and Dark brought in 91,000 viewers, down 9% from its previous episode.
