2/1 AEW Collision Takes Major Hit in Viewership Against WWE Royal Rumble – AEW Collision on February 1 saw a significant drop in viewership going up against WWE Royal Rumble on Peacock. According to Wrestlenomics, the episode drew 197,000 viewers on cable television, with a 0.04 rating in the 18–49 demographic. These numbers represent new lows for Collision in its usual time slot. While the episode also aired on Max, those streaming viewership numbers have not been made available.
This marks a decline from the January 27 episode, which brought in 250,000 viewers and a 0.07 rating in the key demo. The drop was expected given the competition from Royal Rumble, one of WWE’s biggest annual events.
The episode featured a TNT Championship match, with Daniel Garcia defending against Lee Moriarty and Kyle O’Reilly. Other key matches included FTR vs. The Death Riders in a Street Fight, and Samoa Joe & HOOK taking on Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian. Also, The Outrunners battled The Learning Tree, Harley Cameron faced Taya Valkyrie, and Max Caster issued an open challenge.
While Collision has faced fluctuating viewership in recent months, its performance against Royal Rumble highlights the challenge of competing with major WWE premium live events. The impact of its simulcast on Max remains unclear, as Warner Bros. Discovery has yet to release data on streaming viewership.
