Tony Khan is kicking off 2025 with a nostalgic twist, announcing that Elton Johns legendary track, Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting, will return as the theme for AEW Collision. Khan made the announcement in a January 1 tweet, building excitement for AEWs growing presence on MAX and its continued dominance on TNT.
Starting this Sat 1/5, Collision simulcasts Saturdays on @TNTdrama + @StreamOnMax! Khan tweeted. Our Christmas #AEWCollision episode was our most viewers in a year and a half! Elton John Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting is back for 2025! See you for #AEWDynamite TBS + MAX debut TONIGHT!
The return of Elton Johns anthem to AEW Collision adds a classic rock flair that fans loved during its original use. Known for its energy and fight-night vibe, the song perfectly complements AEWs high-octane Saturday show, which now streams simultaneously on MAX. This move comes after a record-breaking Christmas episode of Collision, marking AEWs highest viewership in 18 monthsa promising start for the new year.
AEWs new deal with Warner Bros. Discovery has opened up huge opportunities, including the expansion of its programming onto MAX. With Collision joining the simulcast roster and Dynamite maintaining its flagship presence on TBS, AEW is aiming to dominate both traditional TV and streaming platforms in 2025.
Elton Johns music is no stranger to iconic moments, and its revival signals AEWs intent to merge nostalgia with its forward-looking programming. Fans are already talking about what this move means for the overall presentation of Collision as AEW continues to innovate in the wrestling world.
