WWE x AAA Worlds Collide appears to be gearing up for a unique event, as the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, seemingly leaked new matches ahead of the show. However, a recent report suggests WWE might not broadcast the event live or immediately. While many expected the event to stream on YouTube—where AAA’s weekly show is available in the U.S.—there are currently no confirmed plans for a live broadcast.
Sources from Fightful Select revealed there’s a “good possibility” that Worlds Collide will only be a live event without immediate airing, though this could change before the event takes place on September 26. This event is notable as WWE is running a show in the same Illinois area, on the same date as AEW’s All Out at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates. Internally, WWE considers Worlds Collide a live-only event, but if it does get broadcast later, it would likely appear on YouTube or Club WWE—WWE’s subscription service which recently debuted content including a match where Stephanie Vaquer won the Women’s World Championship in Santiago, Chile.
In August, WWE hinted at CM Punk’s involvement due to the Chicago location. Promotion at the Allstate Arena lists Punk teaming up with Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano against Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, and Omos. Despite this, the only officially confirmed match by WWE and AAA is La Catalina defending her Reina de Reinas Championship against Roxanne Perez.
Fan Take:
This news highlights WWE’s strategic approach to live events amid stiff competition from AEW, especially given the rare scheduling conflict on the same day and location. For fighting fans, the way WWE chooses to distribute Worlds Collide could signal a shift in how major wrestling promotions balance live experiences with digital content delivery, potentially reshaping fan engagement in the sport.
