The ratings for this week's edition of AEW Collision have just dropped and despite Adam Copeland (aka Cope) being on the show, this did not fare well. There was a slight drop in viewership.
This week's show featured an opening contest with The Rated-R Superstar taking on Big Bill. The show also featured Katsuyori Shibata challenging Daniel Garcia for the TNT Title, the Death Riders taking on The Outrunners, Chris Jericho vs. Dax Harwood, and a massive brawl to close out the show.
Wrestlenomics has just revealed that the show drew 337,000 viewers with a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 key demographic. This was a 2% decrease in viewers with last week's show having reached 345,000 viewers with a similar rating. It was also reported that the show did beat the replay of NXT's New Year's Evil show that same night which averaged 279,000 viewers and had a rating of 0.04.
