The latest episode of AEW Collision, which aired on August 31, 2024, has set a new record for the lowest viewership in its regular time slot. According to data from Wrestlenomics, the episode attracted only 289,000 viewers and achieved a 0.10 rating in the key 18-49 demographic. This marks a significant decline from the previous week’s viewership of 442,000 and a demo rating of 0.13.
The episode’s poor performance aligns with a recurring trend where AEW Collision struggles on days when WWE events are broadcast, even if the shows do not directly compete for airtime. This pattern persisted as WWE’s Bash in Berlin aired earlier in the day. The August 31 episode of Collision now holds the record for the lowest viewership in its regular time slot, surpassing only two previous episodes that aired on atypical days—November 18, 2023 (Friday) and August 3, 2024 (unusual start time).
The declining viewership is not isolated to Collision alone. The preceding episode of Rampage, which aired on August 30, 2024, also recorded low numbers, drawing just 218,000 viewers and a 0.07 rating in the key demographic, nearing or matching record lows for that series as well.
The consistent decline in viewership for both AEW Collision and Rampage highlights the challenges facing AEW in maintaining audience engagement amid a competitive wrestling landscape.
