AEW Collision grew its audience over the March 21–22 weekend. The show aired in two one-hour parts and posted higher viewership and better ratings than the week before.
Viewership and ratings
The episodes were taped on March 18 in Fresno, California and then split into two broadcasts. The March 21 edition averaged 469,000 viewers. The March 22 episode rose to an average of 616,000 viewers.
Both shows were scheduled for 11 p.m., but air times were delayed by the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament.
AEW also improved in the key 18–49 demographic. The previous week’s rating was 0.07. The March 21 show delivered a 0.10 rating. The March 22 show averaged 0.12 in the 18–49 demo.
Match highlights
Both nights featured several tag team matches. On the March 21 show, Kyle Fletcher defended the AEW TNT Championship and retained his title.
The March 22 show included more tag team action and an AEW World Trios title match on the card.

Context and trends
Both nights marked growth from the previous week. The jump from 458,000 to 469,000 on Saturday shows steady interest. The stronger increase to 616,000 on Sunday suggests the second episode drew more viewers, perhaps because of card placement or timing after other programming.
Ratings gains in the 18–49 demographic are important for networks and advertisers. A move from 0.07 to 0.12 across the weekend is a notable rise for a late-night wrestling program.
Looking ahead
The next episode of Collision will air live on Saturday, March 28. The announced matches include an AEW Women’s World Tag Team match and an AEW International Championship match. Both will air in a live format instead of the split-tape approach used for the March 21–22 broadcasts.
AEW will aim to keep the upward momentum in viewers and demo ratings as it moves into the next weekend of shows.
