Collision ranked 40th among prime-time cable programs, trailing behind college basketball on ESPN and news coverage of the U.S. conflict in Iran on networks like Fox News and CNN.

This episode marked Collision's lowest numbers in five weeks, since January 24, 2026, which coincided with WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event. AEW's next Collision will air live from Tucson, Arizona.
