Everything Triple H and Tony Khan Have Promoted For WWE and AEW’s Second Face-to-Face This Year

WWE and AEW have been at loggerheads with each other right from the initiation of the younger wrestling promotion. AEW has been trying hard to one-up the WWE but to no avail. WWE has been sitting comfortably at the top of the wrestling food chain and continues to do so even now. But tonight, two of the promotion’s biggest shows will go head-to-head for the first time ever.

This is the 2nd time in 2023 that the two brands will be fighting for superiority in TV ratings.

WWE’s SmackDown and AEW’s Collision will be aired at the same time tonight

AEW’s PPV Full Gear will be taking place on Saturday, 18th November. As a result, AEW will run Collision tonight at 8 pm, just before Rampage which generally airs at 10 pm on Fridays. Thus Collision and SmackDown will be airing at the same time.

This will be the first time that the show will go head-to-head with SmackDown since its first episode back in June 2023. This was also the 2nd time that the two promotions will be battling it out for supremacy in TV ratings. The last time WWE and AEW aired their episodes simultaneously, it was called the Tuesday Night War. WWE won that ratings war with almost 1 million viewers with the help of heavyweights like The Undertaker and John Cena.

As far as the match card for Collision goes, Miro will be facing Daniel Garcia. Also, AEW Women’s World champ Hikaru Shida & TBS champion Kris Statlander joined forces to take on Saraya & Ruby Soho. RUSH and Dax Harwood will also be having a one-on-one match tonight. Then on Rampage which starts when SmackDown goes off air, Toni Storm will wrestle against Emi Sakura.

In addition, Renee Paquette has separate sit-down interviews with World Champion MJF and his Full Gear opponent Jay White. There are rumors that the masked devil will also finally reveal his identity tonight.

Now let’s take a look at the match card for SmackDown.

SmackDown has a surprise return in store for it’s fans

Some huge matches are lined up for tonight’s SmackDown. LA Knight continues his feud with The Bloodline as he takes on Jimmy Uso who cost him the title at Crown Jewel.

Solo Sikoa is also slated to return to SmackDown after pulverizing John Cena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There are also rumors that ‘The Phenomenal’ AJ Styles might return tonight to seek retribution from Sikoa.

A heated confrontation is waiting to happen tonight as Asuka recently turned on Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair to join Damage CTRL. Meanwhile, Rey Mysterio might want to settle the score with Santos Escobar after last week’s brutal beatdown.

With the two going head to head, yet again, it’ll be interesting to see who wins the second battle between the two promotions. Considering the punch WWE packed during the Tuesday Night War, Tony Khan might have something special prepared this time around. What do you think Tony Khan will do to win the Friday Night War?
