The latest audience metrics for AEW Collision have been revealed, showing a steady interest in the Saturday night program. According to Programming Insider, the March 7 episode drew an average of 370,000 viewers on TNT. This represents a minor increase from the 365,000 viewers the show attracted during its previous airing on February 28.
Demographic Dip Despite Total Audience Growth
While the total viewership saw a slight uptick, the show experienced a minor decline in the key 18 to 49 demographic. Saturday’s broadcast posted a 0.05 rating, down from the 0.06 demo rating achieved the week prior. It is important to note that these figures only reflect traditional television viewership on TNT; Collision also simulcasts on HBO Max, though specific streaming numbers for the platform are not publicly reported.
On the digital front, the shocking heel turn of Tommaso Ciampa remains the most discussed moment of the week. The video of Ciampa betraying Mark Briscoe with a vicious attack led AEW’s YouTube charts with over 55,000 views. Other top-performing clips included AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla’s message to Kris Statlander (52,000 views) and the heavyweight clash between Claudio Castagnoli and Konosuke Takeshita (34,000 views).
In other backstage news, WWE has reportedly removed a controversial segment from its social media platforms. The March 3 episode of NXT featured Ricky Saints performing a concert to mock Joe Hendry, a move that drew significant backlash for its perceived similarities to The Rock’s legendary segments. According to Fightful Select, while Saints wrote the material, the concept was not his idea, and he had actively attempted to distance the performance from The Rock’s style to avoid comparisons.
