WWE
WWE Worlds Collide takes place on September 26, and, mere days away, there’s still no concrete indication of how fans can tune in.
The official event page for WWE Worlds Collide confirms when and where the show is taking place, with CM Punk prominently featured on the graphic.
When it comes to how to watch it, the details are much less clear, with no actual information provided (at the time of writing) on the official “how to watch” page, which does cover Money in the Bank on October 10.
Past iterations of Worlds Collide have streamed on the WWE YouTube channel, but what are the options for the upcoming event?
YouTube
The most common option, YouTube is the home of the weekly AAA show, with the official WWE account sharing content from all other shows, in addition to archive content. International fans can also find Evolve on YouTube, while domestic enthusiasts will find that program on Tubi.
Club WWE
Launched earlier this year, Club WWE offers a range of services to subscribers, with video content being among what’s found on the platform.
Recently, Club WWE shared the entire house show match between Liv Morgan and Stephanie Vaquer, which saw the Women’s World Championship change hands, with highlights available through other platforms.
Streaming WWE Worlds Collide through the subscriber platform would arguably add another element of interest for the fans, although how the AAA faithful may react to this over in Mexico remains to be seen.
Recorded Before A Live Studio Audience
It’s possible that WWE Worlds Collide will be taped at Allstate Arena before the live audience, only to be broadcast later.
WWE would be in a sticky position with this, however, knowing that fans will be live-tweeting what’s happening on the show, sharing videos and images to the world. In addition, news sites such as WrestleTalk are likely to be closely following events, sharing the bigger moments.
The WWE social media team will likely be on hand to share footage, adding another element to the “spoiler” effect, potentially sharing what’s happened before the stream has landed wherever it eventually does.
WWE Radio
Being a SiriusXM service, WWE Radio isn’t likely to be the home of Worlds Collide, but is likely to provide live coverage of proceedings.
Announced back in July, WWE Radio includes, among its offering, “live broadcasts of WWE Premium Live Events”, although it’s unclear whether Worlds Collide fits into that description or is a “special”. WWE Radio offers “live play-by-play audio coverage” of major PLEs, with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series specifically named in the launch press release.
Again, WWE Radio, through Busted Open, are likely to cover Worlds Collide in post-show analysis, which would be made more difficult if it isn’t clear when the show will be broadcast.
The Clock Is Ticking
With three days to go, the clock is ticking for WWE Worlds Collide, while AEW All Out is confirmed to be streaming on HBO Max (and its usual international outlets) on September 26.
It’s unusual for the picture to be this unclear when it comes to WWE and its content, leaving fans in a difficult spot should they want to watch the show, not knowing when or where it’ll be available.
