Quarter-hours: AEW Collision, August 24


Note: Viewership for the early part of the show suggests there was an unusual lead-in with higher-than-normal viewership, but the lead-in for this episode of Collision was typical: a re-airing of the film Thor 3: Ragnarok which had lower viewership than the early quarter-hours of Collision.
