AEW announces four-hour Summer Blockbuster show

Despite having no pay-per-view in June, AEW head Tony Khan is ensuring fans have more than enough in-ring action to watch.

After announcing a four-hour Fyter Fest combo Dynamite/Collision earlier this month, another four-hour June special was announced during Thursday’s AEW Collision in Summer Blockbuster.

The show will emanate from Portland, Oregon, on Wednesday, June 11th with tickets going on sale next week. The Summer Blockbuster trademark was revealed earlier this week.

The event will take place nearly two weeks after the Double or Nothing pay-per-view from Phoenix, Arizona; one week after the aforementioned Fyter Fest from Denver, Colorado; and one week before AEW debuts at Arena Mexico for Grand Slam Mexico. After Double or Nothing, AEW’s next PPV will be All In Texas on Saturday, July 12th.

As it currently stands, there will not be a live Collision on a Saturday from May 24th through June 21st due to the aforementioned events and dual tapings. It’s unclear if the NBA and NHL playoffs are a reason for the four-hour blocks.
