The 8 PM start for Worlds Collide is not a coincidence.
WWE premium live event start times have drifted all over the clock this year, and WrestleVotes reports on Fightful Select what fans can expect through the rest of 2026.
Worlds Collide is the standout one. The outlet was told the 8 PM start reflects the city and the date, with the intention of going directly against AEW All Out. Both shows run on September 26, WWE from Rosemont, Illinois, and AEW from Hoffman Estates, roughly 20 minutes apart.
The rest of the calendar is listed as follows. Money in the Bank on October 10 starts at 6 PM. Crown Jewel on November 7 starts at 1 PM. Survivor Series: WarGames on November 28 starts at 6 PM. Wrestlepalooza, running from Australia on December 13, starts at 6 AM.
December 13 may be busier than one show. WrestleVotes noted there could be morning wrestling and night wrestling on that date.
The Worlds Collide clash was already shaping up as a real one. AEW is coming off All In: London, which Dave Meltzer reports is tracking between 210,000 and 230,000 buys, putting the company record of 215,000 within reach. Worlds Collide is the WWE and AAA crossover show, and Nick Khan said this week that AAA has seen significant audience growth since WWE bought it and put it on YouTube outside Mexico.
