AEW has decided to go ahead with a classic Sir Elton John’s song as the opening theme song for their new TV show, AEW Collision.
Sir Elton John’s ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’ to be the opening theme of Collision
The legendary Englishman Elton John is one of the most recognizable artists in the world. The musical giant started his career in 1962 and is still active to this day although he is planning to retire in July 2023. There have also been comments that there may be more shows after that, but the touring days are coming to an end.
With AEW debuting their new Saturday night TV show Collision this Saturday, June 17th in Chicago, the company’s President Tony Khan announced that the famous Elton John song will be a part of it. The song is “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.”
It’s quite a fitting song as it says “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.” However, it’s safe to say that it likely wasn’t a cheap purchase for AEW, but it should fire up the crowd because it’s a well-known song that was released way back in 1973.
Tony Khan announced Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting in a tweet on Friday:
It’s official! Our opening theme for Saturday Night #AEWCollision on TNT is Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting by Sir Elton John! While @FulhamFC and @WatfordFC will never be best mates on the pitch, you’re now a great friend to @AEW, @eltonofficial, and we salute you, Sir!”
