As previously noted, the July 1st 2023 edition of AEW Collision drew 452,000 viewers with a 0.13 rating in the P18-49 demo.

Former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman previously tweeted about how Saturday nights aren’t good to air wrestling shows. Coachaman said the following in regards to a fan’s comment that people should have been warned…

“Wrestling shoes [sic] do not work on Saturdays. Never have. Never will. Now you all can try and come up with something else but try and understand some of us who are in the business kind of know what we are talking about. All that said I would never float about being right and an entire fan base being wrong. Not my style. 😂😂😂😂😂”

AEW’s Dax Harwood responded to Coachman…

“Hey Coach. We’re trying to build a brand. It will take time; we understand that. Hopefully you do too! This roster absolutely loves wrestling. Like, an entity. LOVES it. I know you probably can’t relate to that. Will this Saturday night tv show endeavor work? Who knows. What I do know is, we’ll all work our asses off to MAKE it work. I hope you, & people like you, give us an opportunity to show you, professional wrestling IS alive. I know you know how Monday nights work, but maybe you’ll give us more than 3 weeks to make this work. If not, you’re more than welcome to tell me I’m wrong. What I’m not wrong about is, wrestling fans love wrestling. And we’ll always work to make them proud. Give us a chance.”
