AEW Collision Draws 353,000 Viewers Ahead of Double or Nothing

ATLANTA, Ga. — AEW Collision aired on TBS on May 22, drawing 353,000 viewers in its final episode before the Double or Nothing event. The broadcast was strategically scheduled to avoid competition with WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event on NBC and aired opposite the ongoing NHL Playoffs.

The show received a .08 rating among viewers ages 18-49, a figure that remains consistent with ratings over the past few months when not paired with major sports events. This indicates an 11% drop in overall audience compared to the previous episode and a 7.5% decrease from the last Thursday broadcast on May 8.

Collision finished 12th in the cable rankings, while the NBA Playoffs topped the night’s viewership. ESPN‘s programming featured a game where Oklahoma City beat Minnesota, bringing in 5.16 million viewers and a 1.60 demo rating.

TNT’s NHL coverage, which highlighted Florida‘s victory over Carolina, attracted 1.21 million viewers with a .34 rating. Looking ahead, Collision is scheduled for 11:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, contingent on the outcome of the remaining NBA playoff series.

As the situation develops, updates will be provided on Collision’s performance and viewership ratings following the anticipated Double or Nothing fallout episode.
