AEW Collision Defies Late Slot Challenge, Hits Viewer Peak

Published on

Unexpected Time Shift Boosts AEW Collision Ratings Amidst NCAA Tournament


Summary

– Last Saturday’s AEW Collision episode experienced a viewer surge, reaching 463,000, its peak audience since February.

– Achieving a 0.15 demographic rating, the episode ties with its 2024 high in the key 18-49 category.

– Despite a late start due to NCAA coverage on TNT, AEW Collision stands out, competing with WWE WrestleMania 40.

With an unusual start time past 11:30 PM Eastern, last Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision overcame the scheduling hurdle brought on by TNT’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament broadcast. This episode attracted 463,000 viewers, marking a 1.1% increase from the previous week and claiming the title of the year’s second most-watched AEW Collision episode.

The show’s performance in the crucial 18-49 demographic was impressive, hitting a 0.15 rating. This surge of 36.4% from the previous week mirrors the episode’s peak rating for 2024, achieved earlier in February. The remarkable viewership and demographic ratings come amid strong competition, notably from the NCAA semifinal game, which captivated 6.4 million viewers, and the first night of WWE WrestleMania 40.

This episode of AEW Collision, airing against the backdrop of significant sports and entertainment events, highlights the enduring appeal and resilience of the wrestling show, even outside its usual primetime slot.
