Collision’s anthem is none other than Elton John’s Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting, and whiles fans were surprised, AEW fans seem more than happy with the decision.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Tony Khan explained how the deal to use the song came together.
“I’m not going to claim it was, but I will say it was the perfect fit for the show. I really wanted to get it. I love working with pro wrestling music rights. One thing we’ve done in AEW is bring a lot of awesome music into the world of pro wrestling on a weekly basis. You hear some legendary bands and songs every week on Dynamite, and now on AEW Collision, very fitting to have this amazing anthem, Elton John’s ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’ as the official theme song of Collision. It’s a really big deal and I’m very excited about this great opening theme we were able to get and people seem to love the show open. It felt to me it would be the perfect song and I really enjoy working on those kinds of things,”

At Forbidden Door, Tony also brought back The Final Countdown for Bryan Danielson in a very expensive move.
