AEW Dynamite drew an average of 715,000 viewers on TBS for its October 14, 2026 broadcast, posting a 0.14 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, according to figures reported by WrestleNomics. The same night’s episode of AEW Collision, also airing on TBS, pulled in a smaller audience, continuing a pattern that has defined the companion program’s recent run on cable.
These numbers reflect only linear TBS viewership and do not account for streaming activity on HBO Max, where AEW content is also made available. As with all WrestleNomics-sourced cable ratings, the figures represent same-day linear audience measurement rather than total cross-platform reach.
Collision’s Week-Over-Week Decline
A separate WrestleNomics report covering the October 10, 2026 edition of AEW Collision, which aired on TNT, showed the program averaging 372,000 viewers and a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That figure marked a 10.36% drop from the previous week’s audience of 415,000 viewers and a steeper 50% decline compared to the show’s audience from two weeks earlier. The TNT broadcast, like its TBS counterpart, does not factor in HBO Max streaming numbers. The consecutive weeks of decline for Collision come as the program has shifted between TBS and TNT broadcasts, a scheduling pattern that has coincided with some of the audience fluctuation reflected in the WrestleNomics data.
TNA Impact Sees a Bump on AMC
Elsewhere in the industry, TNA Wrestling’s Impact program posted gains on its AMC broadcast. The October 8, 2026 episode averaged 214,000 viewers with a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic, according to WrestleNomics. That represented a 17.58% increase over the prior week’s audience of 182,000 viewers. As with the AEW figures, the TNA numbers exclude streaming viewership, in this case from AMC+ and TNA+, meaning the reported total understates the promotion’s full audience reach.
Taken together, the three reports paint a mixed picture for cable wrestling programming in mid-October 2026. AEW’s flagship Dynamite held a sizable lead over both Collision and Impact in total viewers, while Collision’s consecutive declines stand in contrast to Impact’s rebound during the same measurement window. None of the figures include digital or streaming consumption, a limitation WrestleNomics and the outlets reporting its data consistently note when publishing weekly cable ratings for professional wrestling programming.
