The May 3, 2025, episode of AEW Collision was packed with intensity as the rivalry between Jon Moxley and Samoa Joe escalated ahead of their AEW World Title clash. Despite the strong card, the show suffered a major viewership hit due to a preempted airing on TBS.
According to Wrestlenomics, AEW Collision drew 341,000 viewers, a significant decline from last weeks 707,000. In the 1849 demographic, the show posted a 0.06 rating, dropping sharply from the previous 0.21 demo rating.
The show was moved from TNT to TBS for the night and aired at a non-standard time, which likely contributed to the steep drop. These disruptions are consistent with similar drops seen in past preemptions.
