September 26 will be a busy wrestling day for WWE and AEW fans.
WWE announced dates for 14 upcoming shows, including Worlds Collide, which will be at Allstate Arena in Chicago on Sept. 26. This is not only on the same day as AEW All Out, but also in the same city; All Out is scheduled to be at Now Arena with a 7 p.m. ET start time.
This will be the second Worlds Collide event between WWE and AAA. Last year’s event was headlined by Dominik Mysterio’s win over El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Mega Championship. The event was streamed on YouTube.
WWE’s last event at Allstate Arena was a July 6 Raw, where CM Punk beat Sami Zayn for the WWE Undisputed Championship. There were 12,493 tickets distributed, according to WrestleTix. The last AEW event at Now Arena was Worlds End last year, which distributed 8,968 tickets, according to WrestleTix.
This marked the second head-to-head between AEW and WWE shows, with an AAA event and NXT Heatwave scheduled to run against AEW All In on Aug. 30.
Last month, NXT’s Great American Bash premium live event went head-to-head against Forbidden Door.
Fans not only will have to decide which show to watch on Sept. 26, but those in the Chicago area also will need to decide on which show to attend. Tickets for Worlds Collide are scheduled to go on sale on July 24.
