• AEW Forced To Change Thanksgiving Week Plans Due To WWE Survivor Series 2025
WWE traditionally held its Premium Live Events on Sundays for years, but in recent times, the company has shifted to Saturday nights for most major shows.
This scheduling change has frequently caused AEW Collision to go head-to-head with WWE’s events, occasionally forcing AEW President Tony Khan to adjust the show’s timing or date to avoid direct competition.
That situation is set to happen again during Thanksgiving week next month. Following the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view, the company’s schedule will be slightly altered to avoid clashing with WWE Survivor Series 2025: WarGames.
According to Warner Bros. Discovery’s official listings, AEW Dynamite and Collision will air on back-to-back nights that week. Dynamite will air on Wednesday, November 26, while Collision will move from Saturday to Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27.
The schedule change means AEW Collision will avoid going head-to-head with WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, which takes place that same weekend.
• WWE May Be Pressured Into Pushing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Niece After Recent Tryout
WWE maintains a strong relationship with the U.S. government. Earlier this summer, Triple H visited the White House for the relaunch of the Presidential Fitness Test, and more recently, he returned with his wife, Stephanie McMahon, and mother-in-law, Linda McMahon, to attend the signing of an executive order focused on using artificial intelligence in pediatric cancer research.
That connection could extend even further into WWE’s talent pipeline. Zoe Hines, a softball player for the French national team and the niece of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., received a tryout with WWE during the SummerSlam 2025 weekend.
Kennedy currently serves as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services in President Donald Trump’s cabinet. Zoe is the daughter of Rebecca Hines, who is the sister of Kennedy’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines, making Zoe his niece by marriage.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Zoe Hines and her mother were backstage at the Clash In Paris premium live event back in August. There is said to be a feeling backstage that if Hines chooses to pursue a pro wrestling career, WWE could face external pressure to give her a significant push, given her connection to one of the most recognizable political families in the United States.
WWE has not confirmed if the company plans to sign Zoe Hines yet.
