Background

AEW Dynamite, also referred to as Wednesday Night Dynamite, is the flagship weekly professional wrestling television program of the American company All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It has aired on Ted Turner founded channels and networks since its inception, premiering on TNT on October 2, 2019,^[2] before moving to TNT's sister channel TBS on January 5, 2022.^[3] AEW Collision, also known as Saturday Night Collision, is AEW's secondary program that premiered in June 2023 on TNT. Since January 1, 2025, both programs have been simulcast on their respective TV channels and the streaming service Max. TNT, TBS, and Max are all owned and distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery.^[4]

On March 8, 2025, AEW filed to trademark "Spring BreakThru".^[5] On March 23, the company announced that Spring BreakThru would be a television special that would take place at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts.^[6] It was originally announced to only air as a special episode of Dynamite on April 16, but on March 28, it was announced that Spring BreakThru would be a two-part special that would also encompass a special episode of Collision on Thursday, April 17. Both programs aired live on their respective nights and channels, with Collision being preempted from its usual Saturday night time slot to avoid counterprogramming against Night 1 of WWE's WrestleMania 41 and also to accommodate TNT's coverage of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.^[7] The April 16 broadcast was the 289th episode of Dynamite, making it the longest-running prime time weekly pro-wrestling program in Turner Sports history, surpassing the former World Championship Wrestling's Monday Nitro, which had a total of 288 episodes that aired on TNT from September 1995 to March 2001.^[6]
