AEW boss Tony Khan apologized to fans after Saturday night’s episode of AEW Collision on TNT ended abruptly with roughly 30 minutes remaining.
During the show’s second hour, there was a tribute to Steve “Mongo” McMichael, the NFL Hall of Famer turned professional wrestler who died of ALS in April. After McMichael’s friend Ric Flair shared memories, announcer Tony Schiavone encouraged fans to donate to the Les Turner ALS Foundation.
From there, Collision went to commercial.

When the commercial break ended, viewers did not see Collision. Rather, they saw the beginning of the movie Black Adam.
