Saturday’s AEW Collision television show averaged 345,000 viewers for TNT, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com. Collision produced a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demo.
Powell’s POV: The previous week’s show had 552,000 viewers with a 0.16 rating. The better comparison is when AEW ran opposite WWE SummerSlam last month and finished with 417,000 viewers and a 0.13 rating. The return of college football was also a big factor in the numbers dropping this week. The television ratings are delayed due to the Labor Day holiday. The Raw ratings should be out later today and things should get back to normal with AEW Dynamite numbers coming out on Thursday afternoon.
Well done Tony. This is on you. Without your biggest star this is what you can expect. You had something good … but you didn’t deal with the children and pull them in line. Maybe baby Jack jack when he’s back can draw 700/800k to collision . It’s just going to turn into a garbage mudshow like Wednesdays now
Don’t forget. The rating could have been higher, but wasn’t due to the fact that Spectrum/Charter customers couldn’t watch any college football that night. And yet they still didn’t choose to watch AEW. That says something, don’t you think?
250k for the final quarter hour.
Without Punk this show is going to be AEWFUL.
