AEW and WWE showing on the same day is not a new phenomenon. The latest incident, however, left AEW World Champion Will Osprey with a special shot.
WWE and AAA hosted the Worlds Collide international promotional event from the Allstate Arena in Chicago on Saturday night. Nearby, AEW introduced All Out to a sold-out crowd at the NOW Arena. Ospreay headlined the final event successful title defense against John Moxleyand later an impassioned declaration post-show media scrum.
“Tonight was super, super special for me because it was the first time I’ve been in the main event of a pay-per-view defending the championship,” Osprey said. “The whole building was sold out for three games. It sold me and John, Brawling Birds and Divine Dominion and the ladder match that happened today. I can’t tell you the pride I feel because people had a choice. Everyone who came to this show chose the right company because we provide the best pay per view. We are going to take you down two wrestling levels.
AEW All Out airs live on September 26th on pay-per-view. On the other hand, WWE x AAA Worlds Collide. is scheduled to air on YouTube this Wednesday night at 7:00 PM ET. “AEW Dynamite,” AEW’s flagship television program, will begin the same night at its regular 8:00 PM ET start time.
WWE has reportedly booked Worlds Collide trying to challenge All Out’s ticket sales.
