With no WWE or World Series competition, last Saturday’s AEW Collision averaged 289,000 viewers on TNT, up 33.2% from the previous week – the largest audience the show has done in it’s regular time slot since September 6.

The show also averaged a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demo, double from the previous week and tying the largest rating the show has done in that category since September 6.

The November 8 show finished 10th on the primetime cable charts with the usual competition from college football on several broadcast and cable networks. As noted, it did not have a WWE premium live event/Saturday Night’s Main Event or the World Series to contend with as it did for the November 1 episode.

As compared to the same week in 2024 under Nielsen’s previous reporting method, overall viewership was down 13% while the 18-49 rating was down 40%. Of note, this year’s numbers do not include viewership on HBO Max.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for AEW Collision as well as the 10-week average in both categories. Beginning October 1st, Nielsen began using the Big Data + Panel measurement system which has resulted in a severe decline in ratings for most pro wrestling shows, Collision being the exception.

This week’s episode was up 1.1% in overall viewers and even in 18-49 as compared to recent averages.
