AEW officially announces Spring BreakThru episodes, schedule change

Posted on by Josh Nason

After a WBD HBO Max lineup initially revealed it before being changed, the Spring BreakThru theme is indeed returning to AEW TV for this week along with a schedule change.

First introduced last year, the theme will be part of this Wednesday’s live episode of AEW Dynamite and also part of this week’s Collision that will air on Thursday instead of Saturday which had been previously announced. The reason is to avoid going head-to-head with WWE WrestleMania 42 which airs on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

In a change from last year when AEW ran back-to-back nights live in Boston, this Thursday’s show will be taped in Everett, Washington, after Wednesday’s Dynamite. Last year’s show featured Owen Hart tournament semifinals matches while this year’s tournament has yet to be announced.

Both shows will be Dynasty fallout episodes.

It will be the second of three straight weeks of pre-taped Collisions as the following week will see Dynamite and Collision emanate from Portland, Oregon.

AEW TV updates: Correction on themed shows initially listed for April

Posted on by Josh Nason

This story has been updated several times.

Despite initially being listed on a media release this week, Spring BreakThru and Playoff Palooza themed editions of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision are not coming back in April after all.

Earlier this week, WBD rolled out their preview of HBO Max content for the month which listed both themes. However, that release was since updated and an AEW representative reached out to verify the update was accurate.

AEW Dynamite will still air on Wednesday, April 15 from Kent, Washington, with the Collision edition airing on Thursday, April 16 as opposed to that Saturday as to avoid going head-to-head with WWE WrestleMania 42. Collision will be taped following Dynamite that Wednesday.

Per usual, AEW Dynasty will be available for PPV purchase on HBO Max, preceded by a Zero Hour pre-show.

Last October’s WrestleDream will be put up in the HBO Max archives on Friday, April 17 while the first episode of AEW Collision from 2023 makes it way to the service on Friday, April 24 as they begin to fill in back episodes up to November 2024.

AEW Collision to air live on Thursday, April 17

AEW Collision will air live on Thursday, April 17.

On the schedule section of the TNT website, the network lists the Thursday, April 17 AEW Spring BreakThru Collision episode as airing live at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Collision typically airs at 8 p.m. Eastern on Saturdays, but is often time-shifted on weeks where it would go head-to-head with a WWE PLE. Night one of WWE WrestleMania 41 is set for Saturday, April 19.

The Spring BreakThru Collision will take place in Boston at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway, the same venue that will host the Dynamite Spring BreakThru the night before.

AEW announced the Spring BreakThru events earlier this week as part of a celebration of Dynamite becoming the longest-running prime time wrestling show in the history of TNT and TBS. Dynamite will surpass WCW Monday Nitro in longevity on the April 16 episode as it reaches its 289th episode.

Mercedes Mone, MJF, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, Toni Storm, Kris Statlander, and Marina Shafir are on the advertising poster for Dynamite Spring BreakThru, while Storm, Statlander, Willow Nightingale, Rated FTR, Christian Cage, and Jay White are on the Collision poster, with both noting that the card is subject to change.
