AEW Collision Ratings Analysis: Steady Numbers Despite Strong Competition

One Big Thing

AEW Collision maintained relatively stable viewership with 332,000 viewers this week, showing resilience against tough Saturday night competition including college football and “Yellowstone.”

By The Numbers

• Overall viewership: 332,000 (down 5% from last week’s 349,000)
• Key demo (18-49): 0.10 rating (up 11% from last week’s 0.09)
• Cable ranking: #7 for the night (down from #6 last week)
• YouTube performance: Death Riders vs. The Conglomeration match topped at 224,000 views

Deeper Context

• November average viewership is down 5% year-over-year
• Q4 ratings show steeper decline:
– Overall: Down 27% from last year
– 18-49 demo: Down 31% from last year

Why It Matters

These numbers are particularly significant as AEW prepares for its streaming transition to Max in 2024. The ability to maintain steady ratings against strong competition suggests a loyal core audience, crucial for the upcoming streaming expansion.

Competition Landscape

• College Football on ESPN and Big 1 Network
• “Yellowstone” return on Paramount+
• Saturday night entertainment programming

Looking Ahead

The upcoming Max streaming deal, while date TBD, could significantly impact these numbers. WBD is currently developing live streaming capabilities for the platform, marking a new era for AEW’s content distribution.
