October 29 iMPACT! Ratings Breakdown
- Total viewers: 201,000
- 18-49 rating: 0.03
- Previous week’s total viewers: 233,000
- Previous week’s 18-49 rating: 0.03
- Week-to-week viewership change: Down 32,000 viewers
The steady demographic result is a notable part of the week’s ratings picture. A drop in total viewership can reflect a number of variables, including changes in the broader television landscape and the composition of the audience watching a given week. With no movement in the 18-49 rating, the available data shows that iMPACT!’s result in that demographic remained level despite the decrease in overall viewers.

TNA’s weekly television audience is also only one portion of how the promotion’s programming is consumed. The company continues to distribute clips, match footage, promos, and other segments through its digital channels, where fans can engage with individual stories and performers outside the initial AMC broadcast window. The latest collection of iMPACT!-related YouTube videos showed particular interest in material involving The Hardys, The Elegance Brand, Leon Slater, Trey Miguel, Elijah, The Nemeths, Amazing Red, and Cedric Alexander.
The Hardys Lead TNA’s YouTube Performance
The most-viewed iMPACT!-related video was a clip centered on The Hardys entering the SLAUGHTERHOUSE SYX Match. That video reached 100,000 views, making it the clear leader among the five most-viewed videos listed from the latest group of content.
The Hardys’ standing as one of TNA’s most recognizable acts has long made their appearances a significant point of interest for viewers across television and digital platforms. Their 100,000-view clip outpaced every other featured video from the same period, illustrating the continued attention attached to Matt and Jeff Hardy whenever they are involved in a major match presentation or featured angle.
The second-most-viewed video focused on The Elegance Brand and KO TV, with the title on the line. That segment drew 57,000 views. It was followed by a tense confrontation between Leon Slater and Trey Miguel ahead of Destination X, which accumulated 47,000 views.
Another video involving The Nemeths looking to ambush Elijah also reached 47,000 views. A full match between Amazing Red and Cedric Alexander rounded out the top five with 36,000 views.
Top Five Most-Viewed iMPACT! Videos
- The Hardys Enter SLAUGHTERHOUSE SYX Match — 100,000 views
- The Elegance Brand Begins To CRUMBLE as KO TV Title On The Line — 57,000 views
- TENSE Showdown Between Leon Slater and Trey Miguel Before Destination X — 47,000 views
- The Nemeths Look To AMBUSH Elijah — 47,000 views
- Amazing Red vs. Cedric Alexander (FULL MATCH) — 36,000 views
Those numbers also show the variety of content that can perform for TNA online. The Hardys video was built around a major match moment, while the other videos covered title-focused programming, storyline confrontations, an apparent attack angle, and a complete bout. Fans seeking out iMPACT! material were not confined to one format, with clips from multiple portions of the show’s presentation appearing among the strongest performers.
The Destination X build was represented among the most-watched clips through the Leon Slater and Trey Miguel showdown. Promotional periods surrounding a major event often place added focus on personal issues, championship situations, and key matches, and the video’s 47,000 views indicate that the confrontation reached a sizable digital audience. The matching total for the Nemeths and Elijah video further underlines how angle-driven content can travel beyond the live weekly broadcast.
What the Week-to-Week Change Shows
The October 29 number marks a decline from the 233,000 viewers registered on October 22, but iMPACT! still finished the week with more than 200,000 viewers on AMC. In a weekly television environment where audiences can shift from episode to episode, the 201,000 total provides the latest benchmark for TNA’s linear viewership.
The unchanged 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic offers a separate measurement from the total-audience figure. Ratings in that demographic are commonly watched as an indicator of the percentage of adults ages 18 through 49 viewing the program. The fact that iMPACT! repeated its prior-week mark means the show did not experience a week-to-week change in that particular rating, even as the total audience came in lower.
It is important to view those two figures together rather than treating either one as the complete story. Total viewers measure the overall linear audience, while the 18-49 number tracks a defined section of that audience. For October 29, the two metrics moved differently: overall viewership declined, while the demographic rating remained flat.
TNA will look to maintain viewer interest as its weekly stories continue to develop on Thursday nights. The company’s digital performance provides an additional way to measure which acts and segments are connecting with fans after the broadcast. The Hardys’ substantial lead among the listed YouTube videos stands out, while the strong totals for content involving The Elegance Brand, Leon Slater, Trey Miguel, The Nemeths, Elijah, Amazing Red, and Cedric Alexander demonstrate engagement across several areas of the roster.
Looking Ahead for Thursday Night iMPACT!
The October 29 episode leaves TNA with a stable 18-49 result and a total audience figure just over 200,000 viewers. The next set of ratings will determine whether the 201,000-viewer performance was a single-week fluctuation or the beginning of a broader trend for the AMC program.
For now, the latest report presents a mixed but straightforward picture. iMPACT! was down 32,000 viewers from the prior Thursday, but it held its 0.03 rating among adults 18-49. Away from television, The Hardys led the promotion’s latest YouTube viewership with 100,000 views for their SLAUGHTERHOUSE SYX Match entrance, while four additional videos ranged from 36,000 to 57,000 views.
As TNA continues its Destination X-related programming and advances the issues featured on iMPACT!, the weekly AMC audience and the promotion’s digital traffic will remain two important indicators of how fans are responding to the product.
