Last Saturday’s AEW Grand Slam Australia was a big ratings success despite strong competition from both the Olympics and the Slam Dunk competition as part of NBA All-Star Weekend.
According to Dave Meltzer, the extended edition from Sydney brought in 561,000 viewers, up 173,000 from the previous week’s regular edition of Collision. The show was two-and-a-half hours vs. the usual two hours.
The 18-49 demo was a .10 which was AEW’s largest number in that time slot in more than two months as was the total overall viewership.
The show was aired on tape delay and was headlined by AEW World Champion MJF defending against Brody King in addition to a World title eliminator, a ladder match for the TNT title, and more.
The data doesn’t include HBO Max viewers and is also following the latest updated Nielsen Data+Big Panel changes that took effect on January 23.
