“Impact Wrestling” Ratings and Viewership – April 5, 2018

Hopefully just a blip. The last few weeks have been kind to “Impact Wrestling” as the shows have been drawing some rather solid numbers. As of late, the show’s viewership has been up and the ratings have gone up as well. It’s a good time to get the numbers up with “Redemption” later this month. However, all good things must come to an end and that might be the case this week.

Miss last night’s show? Here are some quick highlights:

Top 5 Must-See Moments from IMPACT for Apr. 5, 2018 | IMPACT! Highlights Apr. 5, 2018

According to 411mania.com, this week’s episode of “Impact Wrestling” drew 294,000 viewers and a .06 rating in the 18-49 demographic. These numbers are down 26% and 40% respectively from last week’s .1 rating and 399,000 viewers. This week’s episode was headlined by a Feast or Fired briefcase vs. briefcase match between Eli Drake and Moose, as well as Bobby Lashley vs. Brian Cage in a rematch.

Opinion: These ratings continue to be all over the place as you never know what you might get from week to week. Was it really that much of a difference in the card for one fourth of the viewers to go away? And there’s no reason to believe they won’t go even higher next time around. That’s just the nature of things around here and it’s getting harder and harder to guess what might happen next.
