AEW’s most recent major announcement came last Wednesday when it was officially confirmed that “AEW Collision” would become AEW’s newest weekly program every Saturday on TNT. While reports and speculation surrounding the show are already well underway, the aesthetic of the weekly event, according to Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, will draw inspiration from “WCW Monday Nitro” and pay homage to the popular wrestling show.

This fact was already assumed by some fans, as the working logo for the Saturday show is a direct reference to the logo that WCW used for “Nitro” from 1995 until 1998. It seems as though one could expect more references to WCW’s premier show when “AEW Collision” premiers on June 17, though it remains to be seen what aesthetic features from “Nitro” they will end up paying homage to.

“WCW Monday Nitro” was World Championship Wrestling’s flagship weekly programming beginning in 1995, and it ran directly opposite “WWE Monday Night Raw” for the duration of its existence. The company, and subsequently the show, ended in March 2001 when WWE purchased WCW and discontinued its weekly programming.
