AEW Collision Viewership & Ratings Report: 10/3/2026

After an emotional week for All Elite Wrestling that saw the roster pay tribute to Pac following the Englishman's passing, the October 3 episode of "AEW Collision" saw the company get back on the road to the AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view which takes place on October 17. Kofi wrestled in his first AEW singles match against Lee Moriarty, Jon Moxley defeated Jake Doyle in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator match, and the Clockwork Carnage match was made official for WrestleDream.

When it comes to the TV ratings, "Collision" faired very well compared to recent weeks, as Wrestlenomics confirmed that the October 3 episode averaged a total of 415,000 viewers. While this might be a 16% drop from the 493,000 viewers the previous episode got, that episode was preempted and aired on a Wednesday night immediately after the September 23 episode of "AEW Dynamite." With that in mind, the 415,000 viewers is a big boost on the 339,000 viewers the September 19 episode got, the last "Collision" to air in its regular timeslot, and was also 21% above the trailing four week average of 343,000 viewers. As usual with AEW shows, none of these numbers include those who streamed the show live on HBO MAX.

The biggest piece of good news for "Collision" came in the 18-49 demographic as the show posted a 0.08 number, which is the same as the preempted September 23 episode, and double the number that the September 19 show posted. 0.08 was also 60% higher than the trailing four week average of 0.05, and double what "Collision" was doing in the demo this time last year. This all led to "Collision" placing eighth for the night in the prime time cable rankings, one of the few times that "Collision" has actually cracked the top ten on a Saturday night.
