AEW Collision Sees Best Viewership Since Debut

Normally here at Full Press Wrestling we just look at Dynamite ratings. Before that it was Smackdown and Rampage and we will get back to doing Smackdown ratings as well. But we have to talk about AEW Collision on Saturday night. Collision has an old AEW feel to it. The ratings come out every Tuesday and it was another killer show. Let’s see how the show did before a jam packed Saturday, August 5th.

AEW Collision Sees Best Viewership Debut

AEW Dynamite was live from Hartford, CT and man oh man what a show it was. Two excellent matches to bookend the show. First it was Andrade El Idolo taking on Buddy Matthews in a Ladder Match for Andrade’s Mask. And in the main event saw FTR defending the AEW World Tag Team Titles against AEW World Champion MJF and Adam Cole.

The July29th edition of AEW Collision was viewed by 739,000 people and did a .27 in the 18-49 demo.

Highest total viewership and P18-49 for Collision since the debut on June 17 (816k, 0.33 P18-49 rating).

For comparison, Dynamite last Wednesday averaged 898k, 0.29. https://t.co/8qyDC4sdYC

This was the best number for AEW Collision since the debut episode on June 17th which did 816,000 and .33 in the 18-49. Over the past couple of weeks the numbers have been trending up for Collision.

The main event featuring FTR taking on MJF and Adam Cole saw the highest quarter hour on the program. The final quarter (15 minutes of the main event) saw 837,000 viewers and a .33 in the 18-49 demo.

The main event of Collision, FTR vs. Adam Cole & MJF, covered the two highest quarter-hours of the show.

9:45 – 10:00 pm was the highest quarter-hour, averaging 837,000 and a 0.33 P18-49 rating.

As Brandon Thurston notes from Wrestlenomics AEW Dynamite last week saw 898,000 viewers and .29 in the 18-49 demo.

A lot of people were looking to see if Cole and MJF were going to win the tag team titles. These two are one of the hottest babyface acts going right now. So over with the crowd. But each week the show is getting better and they have a loaded show with an AEW World Title match this Saturday as it is Summerslam that night as well.

What a time to be a wrestling fan.
