Longtime wrestling fans will also notice that the red and yellow Collision logo is very reminiscent of WCW Monday Nitro which ran on TNT from 1995 to 2001.
AEW CEO Tony Khan said of the announcement: "With the addition of AEW: Collision on TNT, I’m extremely proud that a Turner network will be the home of Saturday night wrestling for the first time in more than two decades.
"The debut of Collision is significant across numerous sectors including television, wrestling, entertainment and sports, and reinforces AEW as the bold property we envisioned when we launched in 2019.
"Collision will deliver live every Saturday night more of what fans and viewers tell us they want – athleticism, big personalities, exciting storylines and hard-hitting wrestling action, all of which have become synonymous with AEW."
It's been reported that CM Punk is set to return to the company for Collision's debut at Chicago's United Center, however he was not mentioned in the press release or featured on the show's poster.
