TNA iMPACT recorded 233,000 viewers for its October 22, 2026 episode on AMC, marking a decline from the audience total posted one week earlier. The October 15 edition of Thursday Night iMPACT drew 252,000 viewers, meaning the October 22 broadcast was down by 19,000 viewers week over week.
The show also registered a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That figure was lower than the 0.05 rating delivered by the October 15 broadcast. While the overall audience fell from the prior week, iMPACT still maintained an audience above the 230,000-viewer mark on AMC.
The latest numbers provide another week-to-week snapshot for TNA's flagship television program as the promotion continues its run on Thursday nights. Viewership shifts are common from one episode to the next, and the available figures establish that both the total audience and the 18-49 demographic rating moved downward for the October 22 show.
October 22 Audience Down 19,000 From Previous Week
The October 22 edition's 233,000 viewers represented a decrease of approximately 7.5 percent compared with the 252,000 viewers recorded on October 15. The difference is 19,000 viewers across the two broadcasts.

For TNA, the key takeaway is that iMPACT remained over 230,000 viewers despite the week-over-week reduction. The October 15 episode had cleared the 250,000 mark, while the October 22 installment settled below that threshold but stayed within the 200,000-viewer range.
These figures concern the AMC telecast of Thursday Night iMPACT. They do not account for the promotion's digital video performance, which is reflected separately through clips released to TNA's YouTube channel. The television number and the online view totals measure different platforms, but together they show how audiences engaged with the promotion's content during the week.
18-49 Rating Also Declines
In the 18-49 demographic, the October 22 episode posted a 0.03 rating. That was down from the 0.05 rating registered by the October 15 episode.
The change amounted to a two-hundredths decline in the reported rating from one Thursday to the next. Like the overall audience decline, the demographic movement followed the same direction: October 22 finished below the prior week's total.
No additional demographic breakdowns were provided with the figures. As a result, the reported comparison is limited to the total-viewer averages and the 18-49 ratings for October 15 and October 22. The available data shows a clear week-over-week decrease in both categories, without offering a broader explanation for the shift.
TNA's television performance is regularly assessed through these weekly comparisons, particularly as iMPACT builds ongoing rivalries and title programs on its flagship show. One week's data does not by itself define a long-term trend, but it does offer a direct measurement of how a particular episode performed against the one immediately before it.
YouTube Clips Draw Strong Interest
Outside the AMC broadcast, several clips from iMPACT generated substantial view counts on YouTube. The two most-viewed videos tied at 139,000 views, with each focusing on a different moment from TNA programming.
Avery Styles' first singles match in TNA was listed at 139,000 views. Shotzi Blackheart saving Allie from Fire 'N Flava also reached 139,000 views, putting both videos at the top of the promotion's five most-viewed iMPACT clips.
The remaining videos in the top five also cleared significant milestones. Daria Rae's return from suspension drew 111,000 views, while Shayna Baszler sending a message to the Knockouts World Champion received 109,000 views. The fifth-highest clip was the two-out-of-three-falls match between Mustafa Ali and Jason Hotch for the TNA International Title, which stood at 69,000 views.
Top Five Most-Viewed iMPACT Videos
- Avery Styles' first singles match in TNA — 139,000 views
- Shotzi Blackheart saves Allie from Fire 'N Flava — 139,000 views
- Daria Rae returns from suspension — 111,000 views
- Shayna Baszler sends a message to the Knockouts World Champion — 109,000 views
- Mustafa Ali vs. Jason Hotch in a two-out-of-three-falls match for the TNA International Title — 69,000 views
The list reflects interest across multiple parts of the TNA roster and its programming. Styles' singles debut and the Blackheart-Allie-Fire 'N Flava segment shared the top spot, while Rae's return and Baszler's message each crossed 100,000 views.
The videos also cover a broad range of content: a debut singles match, a save during an angle, a return from suspension, a message aimed at a championship, and a title match with a two-out-of-three-falls stipulation. That variety makes the digital results notable, as the most-viewed material was not confined to one division or a single type of segment.
Titles, Returns and Knockouts Stories Highlighted Online
The most-viewed clips underscore several of the story elements surrounding recent iMPACT programming. Avery Styles' first singles match represents a notable career moment within TNA, and the view count indicates that fans showed considerable interest in seeing that match after it aired.
Shotzi Blackheart's involvement in saving Allie from Fire 'N Flava was equally popular. With 139,000 views, the clip matched Styles' debut match as the most-watched iMPACT video in the group. The result places a Knockouts-related storyline alongside a featured in-ring debut at the top of TNA's online engagement list.
Daria Rae's return from suspension was another major point of interest, receiving 111,000 views. Returns can change the direction of an ongoing program, and the strong clip total shows that viewers sought out the moment after it was made available online.
Shayna Baszler's message to the Knockouts World Champion also gained 109,000 views. The video positioned Baszler in a championship-focused story, though the available information does not specify the champion addressed or any next step connected to the message. What is clear is that the segment ranked among TNA's most-watched iMPACT uploads.
Mustafa Ali and Jason Hotch's TNA International Title match rounded out the top five. Their two-out-of-three-falls contest reached 69,000 views, giving a championship match a place among the promotion's leading digital clips. Although it had the lowest total of the five listed videos, it still represented a substantial audience for a single iMPACT upload.
What the Numbers Establish
The October 22 iMPACT episode delivered 233,000 viewers and a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Both totals were down from the October 15 broadcast, which recorded 252,000 viewers and a 0.05 rating in the same demographic.
At the same time, TNA's YouTube content displayed notable traction, led by the 139,000-view clips featuring Avery Styles and Shotzi Blackheart. Daria Rae and Shayna Baszler also appeared in videos that surpassed 100,000 views, while the Mustafa Ali vs. Jason Hotch TNA International Title match added another high-performing piece of content to the list.
The television and digital measurements are separate, and they should not be treated as a single combined audience figure. Still, the numbers show a week in which iMPACT's linear audience dipped compared with October 15 while multiple individual clips continued to attract sizable online viewership.
TNA will look to its upcoming Thursday night programming to determine whether the October 22 decline was a short-term fluctuation or the beginning of a broader pattern. For now, the measurable comparison is straightforward: iMPACT fell by 19,000 viewers and 0.02 in the 18-49 rating from the previous week's AMC broadcast, while remaining above 230,000 total viewers.
