AEW introduced Collision on June 17th, and the show’s third episode ran last week. Now, we have a look at the viewership breakdown, and things aren’t stellar at all.
Click here for our complete coverage of AEW Collision.
We previously reported that, the July 1st episode of AEW Collision drew 452,000 viewers, and a .13 in the 18 to 49 demographic. That was down from the previous week’s average of 595,000 viewers on average, including about 272,000 aged 18 to 49, for a 0.21 P18-49 rating.
Wrestlenomics dropped the quarter-hour breakdown for AEW Collision last week, and things don’t look great. They never scored above 500k viewers for any segment during the two-hour show.
Compared to last week’s 595,000, Collision was down 24% in total viewership. Among viewers 18 to 49, viewership was down 37% from last week’s 272,000 (0.21 P18-49 rating). The debut episode had 816,000 viewers and a 0.33 rating.
That July 1st episode was taped, and it was before a holiday, but the viewership numbers show that they started with 473k and ended the night with 430 for the final 15-minute segment. It was at 420k viewers before that, which is appropriate.
The highest viewed segment of the night went to the Juice Robinson vs Rick Starks match, which drew 486k viewers for the 9:00 to 9:15 marker. Then it went down to 452k viewers for the next 15 minutes.
We will have to see if AEW Collision can bring some new interest to the Saturday show. At this rate, the viewership numbers are falling considerably fast.
