Impact Wrestling's first show of 2021 on AXS TV brought in 148,000 viewers and a .04 in the 18-49 demo Tuesday.

The demo was good for 140th on cable for the night.

By comparison, the December 15th Impact did 177,000 viewers and a .04 in the 18-49 demo. That was down from 221,000 and a .08 for the first show after Kenny Omega won the AEW World title with Don Callis' help.

Impact closed the year with two "Best of" editions. The first brought in 133,000 viewers and a .03 in 18-49 while the second did 103,000 viewers and a .01 in 18-49. Neither charted in the top 150 shows of the night.

So like I said before I hate those Best Of for the Year Show for Impact and you see the Viewership going down in that second week. Positivity though a good Impact I thought last night and it's a damn good Viewership to start off the Year. After what Omega and The Good Brothers did on Dynamite they need to bring it to Impact next Week!

Pretty solid show, I really dug that opening X-Division showcase as well as Deaner/Doring vs Rhyno/Cousin Jake and the women’s tag match.
