AEW Changing Rampage To Be Like WWE Sunday Night Heat

WWE has seen many shows over the years that just didn’t last for one reason or another. Many fans remember, and still love, Sunday Night Heat, but it is no more. It seems that AEW might want to bring back some of that vibe.

AEW Rampage is suffering in viewership, and a new AEW television show, Collision, is coming in June. That being said, AEW is going to switch up how they approach Rampage.

Sean Sapp noted behind Fightful’s paywall that AEW Rampage’s format will change to resemble Sunday Night Heat, back when WWE had that show around.

AEW Rampage, we’re told, will become more resembling what WWF Heat once was. We’re told that many indie talent will be more likely to get opportunities on Ring of Honor programming. The last we’ve heard, AEW content is set to be exclusively hosted on WBD platforms, with ROH seemingly not being a part of that. However, we have not necessarily heard that an entirely new deal has been reached for AEW programming as of yet.

It was also noted that, “there was a lot of discussion and rumors both online and within WBD and AEW about this deal being a billion dollar deal over a few years and that could be true if all of their deals are extrapolated. However, WBD sources had indicated to us that Collision was the planned upcoming announcement, as opposed to an all-encompassing deal that included Dynamite. AEW and WBD sources have not confirmed a dollar figure.”

AEW is making a lot of money with their Warner Bros Discovery deal, and so far the only big change was them axing AEW Dark and AEW Dark Elevation. Now, it seems that we’ll be seeing a change to Rampage as well.

AEW Rampage is not leaving the air. The company will continue airing the show, whenever they decide to show it that week, around Turner Sports’ busy programming schedule. It just might not seem like the same show in a few months.
