AEW delivered another strong episode of Collision on April 12th, and it was a show to remember. One of the standout moments saw FTR explain their heel turn after they betrayed Adam Copeland.
According to Dave Meltzer, AEW Collision drew 455,000 viewers on TNT, a strong increase from the April 5 episode, which pulled in 335,000 viewers. In the all-important 18–49 demographic, the show earned a 0.12 rating, rising from last week’s 0.08.
These figures only reflect TNT’s television broadcast numbers and do not include Max streaming viewership, which remains unreported.
The latest episode of AEW Collision saw Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler explain their heel turn after betraying Adam Copeland at AEW Dynasty. They ultimately blamed Copeland for being selfish for a long time, leading to the betrayal.
In the Owen Hart Cup tournament, Athena and Konosuke Takeshita advanced in their respective tournaments, as things are clearly getting more interesting. This and many other moments took place throughout the night.
With Tony Khan’s continued focus on delivering compelling storytelling and high-impact wrestling, AEW remains committed to growing Collision’s viewership.
