Smackdown and Collision head-to-head tonight on USA and TNT

Both Smackdown and Collision will share the 8PM to 10PM time slot tonight on their respective network, a rare head-to-head between the two shows.

Collision was moved to Friday night since All Out will air on a Saturday due to the return of NFL on television on Sunday night. A live episode of Rampage will follow the conclusion of Collision, making this a three-hour AEW broadcast.

Meanwhile, Smackdown airs its last ever broadcast on FOX as the show moves to USA Network from next week. Being on network television, Smackdown has the advantage over Collision in terms of reach, but the next time these two shows will go head-to-head it will be an even-level playing field, with both shows on a cable channel.

Collision is coming off its worst number ever on a Saturday night from last week so it might struggle against Smackdown on FOX tonight considering it’s airing on a different day as well.

The next time a WWE and an AEW show will go head-to-head will be on October 8 as the second episode of NXT on The CW airs live from St. Louis while AEW will have its annual Dynamite Title Tuesday on TBS. Last year, NXT beat AEW in the ratings thanks in part to several main roster stars appearing on the show, including Cody Rhodes, Paul Heyman, and The Undertaker.
