WWE has set its next Worlds Collide crossover event with AAA for Saturday, September 26, and the date puts it directly opposite AEW’s All Out, creating a head-to-head scheduling clash in the same city.
Worlds Collide is scheduled to take place at Allstate Arena in Chicago, while AEW All Out is booked for the Now Arena, also in the Chicago area, on that same night. The overlap means wrestling fans in the region — and around the country watching both promotions — will have to choose between two major shows airing at the same time.
WWE unveiled the AAA event as part of a larger announcement covering 14 live events for the fall season. Worlds Collide has become a recurring showcase for WWE’s partnership with AAA, the Mexican lucha libre promotion, following previous joint shows that blended talent and storylines from both companies. Details on the card for the September 26 event have not yet been revealed.
Scheduling overlaps between major promotions aren’t unheard of, but landing in the same market on the same date is notable given how much attention All Out typically draws as one of AEW’s marquee pay-per-views. It remains to be seen whether either side adjusts plans, though as of now both events are moving forward as scheduled for that Saturday.
More information on ticketing, card details, and broadcast plans for Worlds Collide is expected as September approaches.
