From the launch of what was then the promotion’s third weekly television show in June of 2023 until this past July, AEW Collision featured Elton John’s “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting” as its theme song.
The classic rock, well, classic was a bit of an odd fit for a pro wrestling show. But it’s a classic for a reason, Collision (almost always) airs on Saturday nights, and it does feature quite a bit of fighting — all of which has been deemed “alright” by the powers that be, so it worked.
It’s not been explicitly stated, at least that I can find, why AEW stopped using John’s 1973 mega-hit. Cost is the obvious answer, though. But with even WWE ponying up for hit songs to open Raw and SmackDown with, and his own new media rights deal in hand, AEW owner & president Tony Khan announced on New Year’s Eve that “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting” will be back starting with their Jan. 4, 2025 episode this weekend.
