That&#8217;s a drop of 221,000 viewers (27 percent). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">The 18-49 demo rating dropped from 0.33 to 0.21, a drop of 0.12 (36 percent). <\/span><\/p>\n<p>By contrast, the first episode of AEW Dynamite on Sept. 18, 2019 drew 1.409 million viewers followed by the second episode on Sept. 25 drawing 1.140 million viewers. That&#8217;s a drop of 269,000 viewers (19 percent).<\/p>\n<p>Saturday&#8217;s Collision still drew substantially more viewers than AEW Rampage the night before, which averaged 391,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Last Tuesday&#8217;s NXT episode, featuring Seth Rollins defending his WWE World Title against Bron Breakker, drew 773,000 viewers. The prior week&#8217;s viewership of 581,000 viewers was more typical. NXT&#8217;s 18-49 demo the last two weeks was 0.23 and 0.16. Collision&#8217;s first two demo ratings were 0.33 and 0.21, so AEW is still drawing better by a big percentage in the demo that networks and advertisers care most about.<\/p>\n<p>Collision might end up settling in the viewership range of NXT but higher demo ratings on what is considered a more difficult night to draw young viewers.<\/p>\n<p>The first episode of Collision did not promote the second episode of Collision, but Dynamite did set up a key match on Collision including C.M. Punk in an eight-man tag match plus the reveal of who would team with Sting &amp; Darby Allin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S AEW COLLISION RATINGS REPORT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/06\/21\/aew-collision-ratings-report-viewership-and-key-demo-ratings-for-debut-episode-built-around-return-of-c-m-punk\/\">AEW Collision Ratings Report: Viewership and key demo ratings for debut episode built around return of C.M.Punk<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2670549184\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>NEW: Check out our new Ratings Reports Section at links below\u2026<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vip.pwtorch.com\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/ratings\/\">VIP MEMBERS (ad-free website) CLICK HERE: RATINGS REPORTS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/ratings\/\">FREE SITE VISITORS CLICK HERE: RATINGS REPORTS<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-408334743\"><div id=\"pwtor-1345357394\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>AEW Collision on Saturday night (6\/24) averaged 595,000 viewers according Nielsen data provided to PWTorch, a drop from the premiere episode&#8217;s 816,000 viewers.
