An official press release from Warner Bros. Discovery announced that the December 13 episode of AEW Collision will air at 4:30 p.m. ET. This move ensures the show will end before the WWE special begins. The press release also outlined the programming schedule for the remainder of the year, including special holiday-themed episodes.
