Compared to the previous week, AEW saw a 37.5% drop in viewers as the August 26th episode drew an average audience of 552,000. While Collision did have strong competition from Saturday Night Football and the WWE Payback Premium Live Event, the reason why the majority of the viewers likely did not watch is due to the absence of CM Punk.
AEW announced that Punk would be fired just hours before the show went on the air, with Tony Khan reportedly booed heavily upon addressing the live crowd in attendance before the show went live. The broadcast itself opened with Khan issuing a statement as to why he fired Punk.
With the NFL season kicking off imminently, more WWE PLE’s in the future and a serious lack of star power, it will be interesting to see what the future holds regarding AEW’s newest show.
