AEW Collision returned to its Saturday night slot this past weekend and drew its second-largest audience since April.

The June 21 episode from Kent, Washington, averaged 426,000 viewers and 134,000 viewers (0.10) in the 18-49 demographic on TNT, which ranked #13 among cable programs in prime time on Saturday.

It was the first time Collision had aired in its regular Saturday slot since May 17. If you exclude the episodes that had an NBA lead-in to inflate the audience, it was Collision’s largest audience since April 12.

Cable programming was dominated by news coverage of the ongoing conflict in Iran after multiple bombs were dropped on a series of nuclear facilities. Collision ranked #13 among all cable programming in prime time, and if news programs are excluded, it would have ranked fifth.

Collision had very few advertisements in advance, as of Friday, the only segment mentioned was one involving Timeless Toni Storm.

This week, Collision will air on Thursday night due to NASCAR programming on Saturday.
