The recent AEW Battle of the Belts XI recorded an average viewership of 308,000 with a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic, marking a significant drop from the previous special, which had 422,000 viewers and a 0.11 rating. Despite featuring wrestling legend Dustin Rhodes' first title win since joining AEW, the show struggled to attract viewers. In conjunction with Battle of the Belts, AEW Collision drew 382,000 viewers and a 0.12 rating, down from last week's 472,000 viewers. The shows aired live from Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas, amid competition from the Paris Olympics and UFC prelims. Viewership for AEW programming continues to decline, with both shows experiencing notable decreases in ratings. Fans are left wondering about the future engagement levels as AEW navigates these challenges.
