AEW Collision Strategically Avoids WWE Survivor Series Conflict

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has strategically planned its November 2025 schedule to avoid direct competition with WWE’s Survivor Series, set to take place in San Diego. In a recent press release, Warner Bros Discovery unveiled AEW’s programming, which will feature a significant Thanksgiving night episode of AEW Collision on November 27, just two days before WWE’s flagship event on November 29.

The decision to schedule AEW Collision on Thanksgiving allows the organization to capture viewership without clashing with WWE’s high-profile pay-per-view event. This move highlights AEW’s focus on maximizing audience engagement during a busy holiday weekend.

In addition to the Thanksgiving episode, AEW has outlined a series of events leading up to its Full Gear pay-per-view. On November 19, AEW will present a three-hour programming block that includes go-home editions of both Dynamite and Collision. This special lineup aims to generate excitement and set the stage for AEW Full Gear, which takes place on November 22.

In terms of specific programming, the November schedule is as follows:

– **November 1**: AEW Collision at 20:00
– **November 5**: AEW Dynamite at 20:00
– **November 8**: AEW Collision at 20:00
– **November 12**: AEW Blood and Guts at 20:00
– **November 15**: AEW Collision at 20:00
– **November 19**: AEW Dynamite at 20:00, AEW Collision at 22:00, AEW Countdown to Full Gear 2025 at 23:00
– **November 21**: The Battle of the Belts joins the AEW programming roster
– **November 22**: AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl: Full Gear at 19:00, AEW Full Gear at 20:00 (HBO Max PPV)
– **November 26**: AEW Dynamite at 20:00
– **November 27**: AEW Collision at 20:00
– **November 28**: AEW Double or Nothing (5/25): Anarchy in the Arena, featuring key matches such as the Hurt Syndicate defending their tag titles against the Sons of Texas, the Owen Hart Cup finals with Will Ospreay vs. “Hangman” Page, and Mercedes Mone vs. Jamie Hayter.

This careful planning reflects AEW’s intent to cultivate its audience while maintaining a competitive edge in the wrestling industry. By avoiding a direct conflict with WWE’s Survivor Series, AEW positions itself to attract fans who may be looking for alternative wrestling entertainment over the holiday weekend.
