By Mike Johnson on 2020-12-09 18:28:00

As reported earlier, Impact Wrestling on AXS TV's audience rose 33% from last week based on the lure of new AEW Champion Kenny Omega appearing.

PWInsider.com can also confirm the episode's live-stream on Twitch peaked at 55,396 with an average of 42,953 viewers for the two hour stream.  That would be over 13x the usual Twitch audience for Impact and was the 4th largest Twitch audience for anything yesterday.   In comparison, yesterday's live NFL Twitch stream peaked at 30,000. 

 The Impact on AXS repeat broadcast brought another 189,000 viewers on YouTube with 56,200 watching via Impact's Facebook page in the first twelve hours since the repeat was posted at 10 PM EST last night

The company trended number one in the United States and number five in the UK yesterday.  Impact TV doesn't air in the UK until tonight.

The online segment of Josh Mathews interviewing Omega and Don Callis itself has over 140,000 views on Facebook and over 240,000 views on YouTube. On Instagram, the interview segment brought in 118,326 views (and climbing) while on Twitter, it has been seen 204,166 time (and climbing), so needless to say, last night was a big night for Impact.
