The Thursday night episode of AEW Collision achieved a significant ratings increase, averaging 409,000 viewers on TNT. This marks a 25.1 percent rise from last week’s Saturday broadcast and a 26.6 percent boost compared to the previous Thursday airing on July 10. Notably, this episode recorded the highest audience total since June 22.
In terms of demographic performance, the show garnered a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 age group. This figure reflects a 25 percent increase from the previous week and a remarkable 42.9 percent jump from the last Thursday episode. This rating ties the highest achieved since May 29.
The episode faced competition from the NFL’s annual Hall of Fame preseason game, a significant sporting event that typically draws a large viewership. Ratings for the Hall of Fame Game have not yet been released, making it difficult to assess the full impact on AEW Collision’s viewership.
When comparing this week’s performance to the same period last year, when the show aired in its regular slot but faced a near-record low audience due to competition with WWE SummerSlam, the increase is striking. This year’s overall viewership is up by 116.4 percent, while the 18-49 rating improved by 25 percent. The current numbers do not include data from the HBO Max simulcast, suggesting that the actual viewer increase may be even greater.
As part of an ongoing analysis, the last 11 weeks of viewership for AEW Collision have been tracked, showing an upward trajectory in both overall viewers and the 18-49 demographic. This week’s figures reflect an increase of 12 percent in viewers and 11.1 percent in the 18-49 category compared to recent averages.
The significant ratings boost for AEW Collision may indicate a resurgence in viewer interest, setting the stage for potential growth as the program continues to develop its weekly narrative and engage its audience.
