WWE is scheduled to stream its Worlds Collide event on September 30 at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, directly opposite AEW Dynamite’s tribute show for the late PAC, according to veteran journalist Dave Meltzer.

What happened

Worlds Collide will be presented from Rosemont, Illinois, and will be streamed on YouTube rather than aired live on television. AEW announced that this week’s Dynamite will honor PAC following his death over the weekend.

What the reports add

Sportskeeda cited Meltzer’s comments on Wrestling Observer Radio, noting that WWE’s decision appears aimed at hurting AEW’s ratings, though Meltzer described the impact as “miniscule.” The outlet also highlighted that WWE’s move follows AEW’s recent announcement of All Out in Chicago.

What was said

“As of right now, WWE is still planning on airing Worlds Collide at 7PM Eastern on Wednesday against PAC’s Dynamite tribute show. I hope they reconsider. People in their own company hope they reconsider. Ultimately, the goal is that they don’t get renewed, and the way to not get renewed is to hurt their TV ratings.” – Dave Meltzer, Wrestling Observer Radio, reported by Sportskeeda
