AEW Collision Drops in Ratings and Viewership in Return to Regular Timeslot

Wrestlenomics has the ratings and viewership numbers for last Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision. Collision returned to its regular timeslot on October 25 after airing back-to-back with Dynamite for one hour on October 15 due to AEW WrestleDream.

Obviously, these numbers will seem somewhat different as the previous week’s episode of Collision was more of a unique situation and a preempted episode. Also, the new data utilizes the Big Data + Panel methodology, which started on September 26. Beforehand, data was measured with the “panel-only” methodology.

The Oct. 25 episode of AEW Collision averaged 228,000 viewers, dropping 43% from the 400,000 viewers averaged by the preempted edition of Collision that aired after the October 15 edition of Dynamite.

In the P18-49 key ratings demo, Collision drew a 0.04 rating. The number fell by 64% from the preempted Collision’s average rating of 0.11 in the key demo. Collision finished at No. 12 for the night in the key demo rankings for cable original programming.

AEW Collision was also simulcast on HBO Max, and those viewership numbers are not included. Last week’s episode saw Jurassic Express and JetSpeed beat the teams of FTR and The Young Bucks in a $400,000 eight-man all-star tag team match. Elsewhere, Ace Austin picked up his first win in AEW, beating Bryan Keith.
