The November 27th episode of “AEW Collision” experienced a decline in both ratings and total viewership compared to the previous week. Last week’s show, which aired earlier than usual on a Thursday following the “Full Gear” event, likely suffered in ratings due to its unusual timing. According to Programming Insider, viewership fell by 11%, dropping from 322,000 to 285,000. Despite this, Wrestlenomics noted that the ratings were still 18% above the show’s average over the past month.
In the key 18-49 demographic, ratings decreased slightly from 0.07 to 0.06 but remained above the four-week average of 0.04. “Collision” ranked 15th among all cable shows that night. Compared to “Dynamite,” which gained viewers after “Full Gear,” “Collision” underperformed. Last week’s episode featured two Continental Classic matches and three singles matches, including Eddie Kingston defeating Katsuyori Shibata. The show is set to return to its usual Saturday night slot, airing live from the Greater Columbus Convention Center, with upcoming Continental Classic bouts involving stars like Jon Moxley, Orange Cassidy, and Claudio Castagnoli.
Fan Take: This ratings dip highlights the importance of consistent scheduling for AEW’s growing audience. For fans, maintaining strong viewership is crucial to ensuring AEW can continue showcasing top-tier wrestling and expanding the sport’s reach.
