Despite failing to top 300,000 viewers in the last three weeks, and recording a historic low 157,000 viewers on the September 6 "AEW Collision," this past Saturday's episode appeared to be a change in trajectory. According to Wrestlenomics, "Collision" averaged 347,000 viewers and a 0.12 in the key 18-49 demographic. When comparing both categories to the previous week, total viewership increased by 29% from 268,000, while also seeing an impressive bump in the 18-49 demo, which grew by 50%. Despite the ratings boost this week, "Collision's" overall viewership compared to September 2023 is down by 29% after averaging nearly 450,000 viewers this time last year. In addition, AEW ranked #19 on cable in the P18-49, including programs listed outside of primetime. ESPN dominated the rankings on Saturday night, with several college football games topping the charts.
