It&#8217;s the best viewership number since college football began and C.M. Punk was terminated.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Van Dam was also advertised ahead of time for a tag match with Hook. The fourth quarter hour that featured his match drew 621,000 on average, the highest viewership of the show, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/wrestlenomics.com\/2023\/09\/26\/quarter-hours-aew-collision-september-23\/\">Wrestlenomics<\/a>. The rest of the quarter hours ranged from 523,000 to 587,000.<\/p>\n<p>In the key 18-49 demo rating, it drew a 0.18 rating, up from 0.15 the last two weeks and the best since it drew a 0.27 on July 29.<\/p>\n<p>The prior ten weeks averaged 514,700 viewers. The prior five averaged 464,400.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was a win for AEW, drawing the best rating and viewership since Punk left and since college football began. There was legitimate concern that even a strong line-up that Collision was doomed to viewership in the 400s or worse. This shows that with a strong build for a strong line-up, even without Punk, Collision can draw a respectable Saturday night viewership near the top of cable rankings, behind only college football.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7-DAY TOTAL VIEWERSHIP UPDATE<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2738197705\" 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<p>PWTorch has obtained the latest 7-day viewership totals through the Sept. 9 episode.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sept. 9 &#8211;
