Impact Wrestling ratings steady for Sacrifice fallout
Ratings for Tuesday’s edition of Impact Wrestling were essentially unchanged from last week’s Sacrifice go-home show.
Tuesday’s Impact averaged 146,000 viewers on AXS TV, up slightly from the 144,000 viewers that last week’s episode averaged. The rating in the 18-49 demo was steady at a 0.04.
In the 18-49 demo, Impact ranked 135th for the night on cable. Last week’s episode ranked 117th.
This week’s Impact featured the fallout from Sacrifice. Sacrifice aired on Impact Plus on Saturday night and was headlined by Impact World Champion Rich Swann defeating self-proclaimed TNA World Heavyweight Champion Moose in a title unification match. The X-Division Championship and Impact Tag Team titles also changed hands at Sacrifice. Ace Austin defeated TJP to win the X-Division Championship, while FinJuice (David Finlay & Juice Robinson) defeated The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) to win the Impact Tag Team titles.
Swann will face AEW World Champion Kenny Omega in a title vs. title match in the main event of Impact Wrestling’s Rebellion pay-per-view on Saturday, April 24. FinJuice are facing The Good Brothers in a Tag Team title rematch at Rebellion.
