Tony Khan has just revealed some good news for AEW, with 2025 coming to an end in a few weeks. He has mentioned how they have found success in the United Kingdom, with an increase in viewership on weekly television.

The Jacksonville-based promotion has faced criticism in the United States due to declining viewership and ratings in the 18-49 demographic. Their weekly show attendance has also been lackluster. This is far different from their pay-per-views, as they have had a great number of attendees across the year.

This is in contrast to their impact on international audiences. They have had successful turnouts during their shows in Australia, Mexico, and the UK this year. Tony Khan has just revealed on X/Twitter that there has been a TV audience growth in the United Kingdom on ITV4. He revealed that Dynamite had a 54% increase in viewership year on year, and Collision had a 60% increase.

AEW set to hold two shows in the UK in the coming days

The promotion is set to hold two shows in the United Kingdom. This will be Collision: Winter is Coming at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff, Wales, and Holiday Bash at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.

The two shows are set to feature blockbuster matches, including some from the Continental Classic, as it is now roughly the halfway mark of the tournament. This is the point where the matchups in the semifinals could shape up. Only four men will be advancing to Worlds End.
