Collision viewership up again for Anniversary show

June 18, 2024

The numbers are in for the June 15 episode of AEW Collision on TNT.

According to Wrestlenomics, Collision drew 431,000 viewers and scored a .13 rating among 18-49 year olds. That’s an increase in the overall audience for the second straight week, and the show’s best of the past month. The demo number was unchanged, but per Programming Insider was still good enough to beat out ESPN’s coverage of a UFC Fight Night card (which scored a .11) and finish among the top three programs on cable for the day.

AEW had more formidable competition from Game 4 of the NHL’s Stanley Cup Finals, where Edmonton’s blowout win over Florida kept their season alive and finished first on all of television with more than three million viewers and a .86 in 18-49. NBC’s Olympic Trials coverage (3.14 million and a .54) and FOX’s baseball (2.4 million viewers and a .41 for the 8 p.m. ET game) were also factors, along with the fact some wrestling fans had already spent the afternoon watching WWE’s Clash at the Castle show from Scotland.

The NBA Playoffs are over, and even if the hockey season isn’t there’s no game scheduled for this Saturday. We’ll see how Collision does. Until then… here’s a look at the viewership and demo rating for every episode of Collision’s first year:
