AEW Collision ratings up in return to Saturday night

Posted on by Paul Fontaine

Back in its regular Saturday time slot, the June 21 episode of AEW Collision averaged 426,000 viewers on TNT. That’s up 7.3 percent from the previous episode that aired on Wednesday in a four-hour block with Dynamite.

This is the second-highest viewership total for the show since April 26.

In the 18-49 demo, Collision finished 13th on the prime time cable charts with a 0.10 rating. That’s up 11.1 percent from last week’s Wednesday broadcast and is also tied for the second-best rating the show has done in that category since the April 26 episode.

The TV charts were dominated by cable news coverage of the United States launching missile strikes at nuclear facilities in Iran. There was also a College Baseball World Series game on ESPN that aired head-to-head.

As compared to the same week in 2024, Collision’s overall viewership was down 0.7 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 28.6 percent. This year’s numbers do not include viewership on Max, which is likely why the cable TV audience for Collision skews so much older in 2025.

This week, Collision will be broadcast on Thursday due to a NASCAR race airing in its regular weekend slot.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership totals and 18-49 demo ratings for Collision, as well as the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was down 0.2 percent in overall viewers and 9.1 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
