AEW Collision ratings up, second-lowest Saturday viewership in show history

Saturday night’s AEW Collision episode averaged 268,000 viewers on TNT, up 70.7 percent from the previous week when the show aired on Friday night head-to-head with WWE SmackDown. Still, this is the second-lowest audience total the show has ever done on a Saturday. The lowest was this August when Collision aired in an earlier time slot to avoid going against SummerSlam.

Collision finished seventh on the prime time cable charts with a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demo. That’s double what the show did last week on Friday night, but it’s the second-lowest rating the show has ever done in its normal time slot with the lowest happening when it went head-to-head with the Royal Rumble this January.

Collision was taped last Thursday before airing on Saturday night. Viewership on Saturday was dominated by college football with games airing on ESPN, ESPN2, BTN, and all four major broadcast networks against Collision.

As compared to the same week in 2023, Collision’s overall viewership was down 42.6 percent while its 18-49 rating was down 46.7 percent.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership totals and 18-49 demo ratings for Collision, as well as the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was down 20.6 percent in overall viewers and down 27.3 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
