Ratings for Collision are in for people who care about that sort of thing.

Just above 800,000, which I think is decent in context. It's a bit lower than what Dynamite has been doing, but it's on a worse night, and without an audience conditioned to tune in at that time. So, I think that should be on the higher end of what AEW could have reasonably hoped for.

I expect the rating will go down next week to somewhere between 730 and 770k. Not because it was a bad show, but because it's only the first episode once. Some people who checked it out like Jumpin will come back, and others like me will have had their curiosity satisfied. From there, if they put on a show of that consistent quality, I think they can build back up to that 800,000 and maybe beyond. To get beyond that into the million plus territory, I think they need some kind of Xfactor. At this point, Punk is not it. He has his audience, but I can't see droves of new fans coming in. They need to find someone to fill those boots.
