AEW Collision ratings down with shift to TBS

Saturday night’s AEW Collision episode averaged 341,000 viewers on TBS, down 51.8 percent from the previous week when the show aired on its normal home of TNT. This is the lowest audience total for Collision since April 5.

Collision drew a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demo. That’s down 71.4 percent from last week (which had an NBA lead-in and was one of Collision’s best ratings ever). This ties the lowest rating the show has done in the demo since February 1, when it went head-to-head with WWE Royal Rumble.

There was stronger-than-usual sports competition on the night with TNT and TruTV both airing an NBA playoff game, which was the reason why Collision moved stations, as well as the UFC Fight Night prelims on ESPN. ABC also aired an NHL playoff game opposite Collision.

There is no year-over-year comparison this week as Collision was pre-empted in 2024 due to TNT airing the NBA in its place.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership numbers and 18-49 demo ratings for Collision, along with the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was down 19.1 percent in overall viewers and 50 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
