AEW Collision, which aired immediately after Dynamite from 10:27 p.m. to 11:36 p.m. ET, drew 500,000 viewers and a 0.12 in 18-49, Wrestlenomics reported.
Both shows went up against an NBA doubleheader on ESPN: the Cleveland Cavaliers at the New York Knicks at 7 p.m. ET, followed by the Golden State Warriors at the Houston Rockets at 9:30 p.m. ET.
Dynamite’s audience was down 6% from the 792,000 viewers for last week’s Blood & Guts episode, and its 18-49 rating dropped from a 0.24. The show was 6% above its trailing four-week average of 697,000 viewers.
Dynamite is averaging 706,000 viewers in the fourth quarter of 2026, up 42% from 496,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to Wrestlenomics. Its November average of 767,000 viewers is up 46% from 525,000 in November 2025.
Collision’s 500,000 viewers were up 33% from 376,000 for last week’s episode, and its 0.12 in 18-49 was up from a 0.08. Collision is averaging 402,000 viewers in the fourth quarter, up 63% from 246,000 a year ago.
The three-hour show aired live from the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah, as AEW’s final show before Full Gear on Saturday, Nov. 14, in Phoenix, Arizona. The Motor City Machine Guns beat FTR in Match 5 of their best-of-five series, Tommaso Ciampa retained the AEW National Championship against Mike Bailey, and Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir beat Mercedes Moné and Jay White. AEW World Champion Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher also went face to face before their Full Gear match. Full results are here.
Analysis:
This is a good number for AEW. Dynamite went head-to-head with an ESPN NBA doubleheader that opened with Knicks-Cavaliers and still came in above its average for the last month. The 18-49 rating fell from last week, but last week was a Blood & Guts special. Dynamite is also up more than 200,000 viewers a week compared to this time last year, and Collision drew a third more viewers than last week by airing on Wednesday right after Dynamite.
