March Madness, the annual NCAA Tournament for men’s basketball, is set to create schedule chaos for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) next week. AEW’s television partners at Warner Bros Discovery hold the broadcast rights for 46 tournament games, with 21 airing on Dynamite’s usual home of TBS and 12 on TNT where Rampage & Collision air.
As a result, changes are imminent for AEW’s schedule. Early round games will occupy most of the TBS & TNT timeslots on Fri., Mar. 22 and Sat., Mar. 23, prompting Rampage to move to Wednesday next week, airing live immediately after Dynamite. Collision will have no new episode next Saturday, as TBS and TNT both have college basketball scheduled for the 23rd.
AEW’s newest show previously skipped a week due to TNT’s coverage of NBA All-Star Weekend, and will run against night one of WrestleMania XL and the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four on April 6.
For AEW fans, this means three hours of live wrestling shows next Wednesday, but nothing else until the following Wednesday.
