The latest episode of AEW Collision experienced a significant drop in viewership, marking the lowest in the show’s history. Airing on Saturday afternoon, the episode attracted just 189,000 viewers, a 50.5% decrease from the previous week. The rating in the key 18-49 demographic also fell to 0.08, only narrowly avoiding the record low of 0.06 set during a clash with WWE’s Royal Rumble.
Several factors contributed to this decline, including the show’s shift to an earlier time slot and the stiff competition from major events. These included the SummerSlam preshow, extensive Olympic coverage across multiple networks, and a UFC event on ABC. These concurrent broadcasts likely drew viewers away from AEW Collision, resulting in a significant ratings drop.
