AEW Collision Drops to 302,000 Viewers Against NXT Halloween Havoc – Should AEW Be Concerned?

The 10/31 edition of AEW Collision recorded 302,000 viewers, according to ProgrammingInsider.com, with a 0.06 rating in the 18–49 demographic.

The episode went head-to-head with WWE NXT Halloween Havoc on The CW, and the audience figure represents a noticeable drop from the previous week's 449,000 viewers and 0.10 demo rating.

Looking at the wider numbers for 2026, Collision has experienced plenty of ups and downs. There have been episodes reaching over 500,000 viewers, while others have struggled to get much above 300,000. The latest figure is certainly towards the lower end of the range.

It's worth considering the competition, the timing of the broadcast and the overall strength of the card before judging the result. But with Collision regularly facing questions about its audience, is this another warning sign for AEW?

💬 Let's Debate!

1. Is 302,000 viewers a disappointing result for AEW Collision?
