All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is facing disappointing news as its Collision show recorded an average of 347,000 viewers on TNT, a 12.6% drop from the previous week and the lowest viewership since January 24. Despite a 20% increase in the key 18-49 demographic rating to 0.06, this figure still ranks as the second-lowest since early March. With the upcoming pay-per-view, Double Or Nothing, scheduled for May 24 in Queens, New York, AEW President Tony Khan is under pressure to ensure a successful lead-up to the event. The recent merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Skydance has raised concerns about AEW's lucrative media deal, valued at nearly $200 million. As a contingency, Khan is reportedly exploring the option of temporarily moving AEW content to YouTube while seeking new broadcasting arrangements.
