WWE Smackdown Audience Slips Slightly; AEW Collision Bounces Back Strong

-- Friday's WWE Smackdown averaged 1.507 million viewers over three hours while registering a 0.48 rating in the key people 18-49 demo. Both figures are down from last week when the show averaged 1.578 million viewers and a 0.51 rating.

-- Meanwhile AEW Collision bounced back in a big way averaging 387,000 viewers and a 0.10 rating. The audience is the second best in well over four months while the rating is the best in almost three months. The numbers are a welcome sign after last week's disastrous showing when Collision went head-to-head against WWE's Royal Rumble which slumped to near record lows.
