WWE Smackdown Draws Strong Audience, AEW Collision Falls To Record Low Against WWE Royal Rumble

-- WWE Smackdown last Friday - the Survivor Series go home episode - drew 2.475 million viewers, the best audience since late August. In the 18-49 demo, Smackdown soared to a 0.71 rating, also the best number in that category since August.

-- Saturday's AEW Collision fared miserably drawing record lows in both audience with an average of 300,000 viewers and in the 18-49 demo where it drew a 0.06 rating. Both figures are the lowest ever for Collision and the rating actually has the dubious distinction of being the worst for any non-taped AEW show in history. The reason for these disastrous numbers is because the show went head-to-head against WWE's Royal Rumble

-- AEW Rampage on Friday evening averaged 328,000 viewers and a 0.13 rating in the 18-49 demo. The audience is the lowest of 2024 so far but the rating is the highest of the year.
