AEW Plans First Live Collision Broadcast From Chris Jericho Cruise in Miami

The cruise is scheduled to run from November 7 through November 11, with the ship sailing from Miami to Bimini, Bahamas, after the broadcast.
The previous AEW cruise broadcast, a taped Dynamite in January 2020, included Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page winning the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
Jericho said the 2026 cruise would be dedicated to the memory of PAC (Ben Satterley), who appeared on an earlier cruise and wrestled Jon Moxley during AEW’s early partnership with the event.
The cruise’s other attractions include the men’s and women’s Oceanic tournaments, MicroMania, live podcasts, and performances by Fozzy and comedian Brad Williams.
AEW will broadcast a live episode of Collision on November 7 from Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise, marking the first live AEW television show from the event Wrestling Pundits. The Norwegian Jewel will remain docked in Miami for the broadcast before sailing to Bimini, Bahamas, after the show airs PWMania. This is a major logistical undertaking — wrestlers booked for Collision will be aboard, and Jericho emphasized the significant planning required to pull off a live production at sea Slam Wrestling.
AEW has broadcast from Jericho's cruise before, but only in taped format. In January 2020, the company aired a taped Dynamite episode from the ship that featured Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page winning the AEW World Tag Team Championships PWMania. This November 7 broadcast will be different — it will happen live, making it a first for AEW in the cruise setting.
The Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager runs from November 7 through November 11, with wrestling and entertainment throughout PWMania. Beyond the live Collision broadcast, the cruise will feature men's and women's Oceanic tournaments, a competition called MicroMania, and live podcasts Wrestling Attitude. The ship will also host performances by Jericho's band Fozzy and comedian Brad Williams, creating a full slate of entertainment for attendees.
Broadcasting live from a cruise ship requires solving unique technical and logistical problems. The ship must stay docked in Miami during the Collision broadcast rather than depart immediately Gerweck, which adds coordination complexity. Jericho noted that the live production demanded significant planning to ensure wrestlers arrive on time, equipment works reliably at sea, and the show reaches viewers on schedule Slam Wrestling.
The 2026 edition of the Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager will be dedicated to the memory of PAC (Ben Satterley), who appeared on earlier cruises and wrestled Jon Moxley during AEW's early partnership with the event Wrestling Pundits. This marks a meaningful tribute to the wrestler who was part of the cruise's history and the broader AEW family.
