WWE touts Worlds Collide set new YouTube record for company
WWE is touting that Worlds Collide 2025 set a new YouTube record for the company.
Worlds Collide had the biggest live YouTube audience in WWE’s history, peaking at 764,389 viewers between the promotion’s English and Spanish-language channels. The show took place in Inglewood, California on Saturday afternoon and streamed on YouTube for free, featuring wrestlers from WWE, NXT, and Lucha Libre AAA.
Viewership peaked in the main event of the show with El Hijo del Vikingo defeating Chad Gable to retain the AAA Mega Championship.
The full Worlds Collide broadcast is available to watch on demand and currently has 2.9 million views on WWE’s main channel and 1.7 million views on the WWE Espanol channel.
This April, it was announced that WWE is acquiring Lucha Libre AAA with the deal expected to officially be finalized in the third quarter of 2025. AAA was founded in 1992 and is one of the two biggest wrestling promotions in Mexico. Worlds Collide served as a way to introduce the WWE audience to AAA’s roster, with Octagon Jr. even going on to compete at Money in the Bank later in the night. He unsuccessfully challenged Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental title.
AAA wrestler Mr. Iguana — who was hugely popular at Worlds Collide — also made an appearance in the crowd at Money in the Bank.
