Speculation about AEW’s plans for television tapings heading into 2025

Earlier this week, it was announced that the December 7th 2024 edition of AEW Collision has been moved from The Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio to the Greater Columbus Convention Center. At this time, there are no AEW television tapings officially announced past the AEW Dynamite/Rampage event on December 18th. With speculation about AEW continuing to run smaller venues in 2025, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following about the situation…

“WWE pretty much has most dates announced through March. On Dynamite when running down the TV tapings, they only plugged the next four shows. Even if they are revamping and going to smaller places, which would make sense, you’d want to get the venues out more than five weeks out.”

Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast reported that ROH’s Final Battle PPV is scheduled for December 20th at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City and AEW Collision is expected to take place the following night at the same venue.

According to Meltzer, more Collision tapings on Thursday nights are expected to take place moving forward. Meltzer stated the following about the Thursday night tapings…

“The main talent likes it because if they are on the road on Wednesday, it’s far easier to stay for a second day of taping rather than either stay on the road two days and come back Friday night or Saturday, or go home on Thursday and come back Friday night or Saturday morning.”
