AEW Collision has bounced back after weeks of low ratings.
As reported by Wrestlenomics, 504,000 people watched the October 14th show which also drew an 18-49 rating of 0.14. With the October 7th episode of AEW Collision drawing an average audience of 353,000, the increase in overall viewership calculates to approximately 43%. The key demographic rating has also seen an improvement as the October 7th epsiode drew a rating of 0.09.
October 14th saw the highest overall viewership since September 23rd, which drew an average rating of 562,000. It should also be noted that Collision did not compete against any WWE programming on October 14th, which was not the case on the 7th or September 30th as it ran head-to-head against WWE Fastlane and NXT No Mercy Respectively.
What Happened On AEW Collision?
Much like the October 7th episode, Adam Copeland was a prominent feature on the broadcast, appearing in the opening segment and closing angle.
The main event saw Bryan Danielson challenge Christian Cage for the TNT Championship. Cage successfully retained the title thanks to Ricky Starks striking Danielson with the title as the referee was distracted. However, Danielson would stand tall at the end of the broadcast alongside Copeland and FTR.
The TNT Title match was one of 3 championship defences on the broadcast. The opening match of the show saw Samoa Joe successfully defend the ROH TV Championship against Willie Mack, with TBS Champion Kris Statlander defending the title against Skye Blue later on in the broadcast. A match between Komander and Brian Cage was also scheduled for AEW Collision, but this was postponed due to injury.
