AEW Collision Ratings Surge 96% Without Major Competition, Draws 387K Viewers

One Big Thing

AEW Collision viewership bounced back strongly this week, drawing 387,000 viewers and a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The show saw a dramatic 96% increase in total viewers from last week’s 197,000.

By the numbers

• Total viewers: 387,000 (up 96% from last week)
• 18-49 demographic: 0.10 (up 150% from last week’s 0.04)
• Ranked 5th on cable for the night
• Four-week average comparison: Total viewers up 37%, demo up 25%

Why it matters

This marks a significant recovery for AEW’s Saturday show, which had been struggling against tough competition from NFL playoffs, WWE events, and the Royal Rumble in recent weeks. The ratings boost suggests that Collision can maintain a stronger viewership when not facing major sports or wrestling competition.

Match highlights

• Kyle Fletcher defeated Mark Briscoe in the main event
• Bandido returned after 600+ days to defeat Bryan Keith
• Mercedes Mone confrontation with Harley Cameron
• Komander vs. LFI segment featuring Hologram’s return

Looking ahead

AEW’s upcoming “Grand Slam: Australia” event could see strong viewership numbers due to a lead-in from NBA All-Star Weekend, potentially making it one of AEW’s most-watched shows of 2024.
