WWE will hold a new edition of Worlds Collide tomorrow Saturday at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, coinciding with the celebration of the All Elite Wrestling PPV All Out in the same city. What many saw as a new move in WWE's counterprogramming policy has ended up surprising everyone. As several media outlets already reported, Worlds Collide will not be broadcast live.
JBL, one of the regular commentators in the English broadcasts of AAA, stated that he will not be present at the show, as WWE will not have live commentators. He explained this in his most recent appearance on the podcast Something To Wrestle.
I won't be there. Let's say it will be afterwards. I won't be there. They asked me if I would be willing to participate and I replied: "Of course, I would be delighted." But they won't have commentators
When asked if he knew if the event would be broadcast and where it could be seen, he replied: "I don't know. Things have changed a lot. They called me two or three weeks ago and asked me: 'Would you mind coming?'. And I replied: 'I would be delighted'. I know that most things are done remotely in Mexico. I told them I would be happy to go to Chicago, but things changed. What they initially told us, a few weeks ago, is that we would probably put the voices next week. That may have changed since then, I don't know."
With 24 hours to go until the event, WWE still hasn't advertised the broadcast of the show. However, the show has been mentioned in the company's TV schedule, including the most recent episode of Lucha Libre AAA on Fox, where Rey Mysterio revealed the official card of the show. WWE's YouTube channel only has the Saturday AAA episode scheduled in its live broadcast section at its usual time. It is unknown if this will be the official channel where Worlds Collide will be broadcast afterwards.
