AEW President Tony Khan celebrates AEW Collision ratings success as the weekly wrestling program attracted 501,000 viewers upon its return to the Saturday schedule, outperforming recent episodes and adding momentum to All Elite Wrestling’s ongoing streak of positive results. The notable ratings boost comes alongside praise for Khan’s creative direction and the recent energy surrounding AEW events and broadcasts.
Strong Performances Fuel Excitement for AEW
In recent weeks, Khan’s efforts to elevate AEW programming have received recognition from fans, with recent editions of both Dynamite and Collision drawing positive responses. The organization’s recent Double or Nothing pay-per-view also proved to be a high point, energizing fans further as AEW advances into its “Road to All In: Texas” phase.
Last week’s episode of Collision featured major names such as Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland, FTR, and Claudio Castragnoli, while stars from CMLL contributed to the action. This dynamic lineup contributed to increased excitement, building anticipation for upcoming events and matches within the promotion.
Improved Ratings on Return to Saturday Timeslot
The March 22, 2025, installment of Collision aired on a Thursday instead of its usual Saturday slot and garnered an average viewership of 353,000, a noticeable dip attributed to the schedule change. However, when the show returned to its regular Saturday night position, ratings quickly rebounded.
Citing data from Wrestlenomics, last Saturday’s episode drew an average of 501,000 viewers and achieved a 0.18 rating among key demographics. Observers have suggested that the NBA programming preceding the broadcast may have boosted audience numbers by acting as a lead-in to Collision.
Momentum Builds Ahead of Major AEW Events
With excitement surrounding AEW building steadily, attention now turns to the upcoming Fyter Fest Dynamite, where a special four-hour broadcast promises several high-profile matches. Many in the wrestling community are watching to see whether Tony Khan can maintain AEW’s current momentum and continue the streak of successful events as the company progresses on the Road to All In: Texas.
