July 8 Rating

The ratings are in for Saturday's AEW Collision. The show drew 580,000 viewers. In the 18-49 demographic, the show did a 0.21 rating. This is up from last week's 452,000 total viewership and a 0.13 key demo rating.

Not bad compared to july 1(up 125k people). I guess the combination of the US long weekend and Punk not being in the main event didn't help last week.

Dom pulling in Dynamite numbers for NXT
 
Collision remains flat ratings wise. Honestly that's a bit annoying because I think it has been a better show then Dynamite so far
It is a better show, but the fact that they are holding their viewers throughout the show and peaking at the main event is good. It means people are invested in the show and that their main events are draws.

I would be curious to see the DVR numbers. Saturday night at 8PM is not ideal for TV.

True, considering the slot it's not doing bad.
 
Good night for NXT ratings wise. Dom Dom supremacy continues and why they keep having JD show up everywhere, they are a draw.

Highest quarter actually belonged to Cora vs Dana in the kendo stick match, which was way better then anyone expected.



A year ago the show did 600k and a .13 in the demo.
 
Collision with 739k they were near their debut numbers. Doing impressively well for a Saturday night. Cole and MJF are a draw oh and cardboard Jay White. Fairly big UFC they went up against too.
 
Collusion ratings this week predictably tanked going against both college football and a WWE PPV. Did like the lower end of Rampage numbers.

WBD had to know that would happen so its most likely not a big deal long term.
 

TBF the low overall number was because of massive competition with college football and Payback, but the losing 88K off the Punk announcement is hard to spin as a write off or a good thing.

If WBD is still willing to shell out then its whatever for the health of AEW, but I just don't get that timeslot. Saturday night is for sports, it's not going to ease up when CB is done as you get NFL games late in the season on Saturday. Then hockey and basketball, never mind UFC PPVs and WWE PLEs.

It's never going to pull big numbers.

Honestly part of me thinks it would have been smarter to just cancel Rampage and run Collision head to head with Smackdown. It wouldn't beat SD obviously, but I think it would still pull 600k plus on Friday night prime time.

It will never pull big numbers, but it will draw better than most other alternatives in that timeslot.

Now, is it worth the investment? Doubtful.

Interesting, I was told I was spinning shit to take a dump on AEW when I merely brought it up


That Saturday night slot is going to be brutal for them if they don’t have somebody like Punk to bring in casual eyeballs. Not even really their fault, it’s just a brutal slot
