AEW Collision dropped its lowest viewership in five weeks, airing head-to-head with WWE’s Elimination Chamber premium live event.
The taped edition of Collision from Denver averaged 365,000 viewers and 82,000 (0.06) in the 18-49 demographic on TNT and excluding viewership from HBO Max.
It was the first time AEW aired Collision head-to-head against a WWE premium live event since last year’s Elimination Chamber. The show averaged 280,000 viewers and 75,000 viewers (0.06 )in the demo one year ago, so this was actually a much stronger performance in terms of overall viewership.
The show saw a 22% decline in overall viewership and a 25% drop in the 18-49 audience from the previous week and Collision’s lowest numbers since January 24, 2026, which was the same day as Saturday Night’s Main Event.
In the 18-49 demographic, males dropped by 40% from last week, while women grew from 33,000 viewers to 40,000 this week.
Adults 18-34 experienced a drop from 0.07 to 0.04, and adults 25-54 stayed even at 0.10.
Collision ranked #40 among cable programs in prime time, which was led by college basketball on ESPN and multiple news shows on Fox News and CNN covering the U.S. conflict in Iran.
AEW returns with a live edition of Collision this Saturday from Tucson, Arizona.
