AEW Collision has become one of the most talked-about wrestling shows on television, but on a recent Saturday night, fans were left both surprised and frustrated. Instead of finishing its usual two-hour broadcast, the final 30 minutes of AEW Collision on TNT were abruptly cut off. What followed was not the thrilling wrestling conclusion viewers expected, but the sudden airing of the action film "Black Adam" starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Here’s what happened, what you missed, and where you can catch up.
AEW Collision broadcast interruption: Black Adam airs unexpectedly during main event
AEW Collision had been moving through its regular action-packed matches when technical difficulties slammed the brakes. As reported by Cageside Seats, after 90 minutes had aired, TNT replaced the remainder of the show with a scroll explaining the technical issues. Fans were left watching "Black Adam" instead of the anticipated main event. This twist added a bit of irony, considering The Rock’s WWE legacy.
Tony Khan, AEW President, responded quickly. He confirmed on social media that the problem affected only the East Coast at first, but the West Coast feed would air as normal. However, WhatCulture later revealed that similar issues eventually struck the West Coast, too, cutting off programming there as well. In both cases, the full episode was quickly made available on the TNT app and Max streaming platform so fans would not miss out entirely.
The abrupt cut-off left viewers in the lurch, especially those looking forward to headline matches. According to multiple sources, Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara vs. Lio Rush & Action Andretti and Will Hobbs vs. Wheeler Yuta were among the contests that didn’t air live. This disappointed many fans who had tuned in for the full AEW Collision experience.
AEW immediately shared updates across their social channels and advised fans where to find the full episode. For more context and Tony Khan’s response, check out Wrestlezone’s coverage. The company remained transparent and dedicated to ensuring fans had access to all the action they missed.
While technical glitches are rare for AEW Collision these days, this was a major disruption. Industry insiders believe the problem originated on TNT's end rather than with AEW production. The episode had been taped earlier in the week, making a broadcast transmission issue the likely cause. Both Cageside Seats and WhatCulture emphasized that fans’ frustration was understandable, but pointed out that AEW acted swiftly to remedy the situation.
If you were one of the many viewers left hanging, don’t worry. The entire AEW Collision episode is now available to stream on both the TNT app and Max. AEW’s transparent communication helped fans quickly locate the action they missed. For those wanting every match, it’s just a few clicks away.
AEW Collision continues to deliver high-quality wrestling, even when faced with unexpected hurdles. Technical issues may occasionally happen, but AEW’s prompt response and clear communication ensured that fans can still enjoy every hard-hitting moment.
