The AEW All In event has been a major success ahead of it taking place on August 27th at Wembley Stadium in the UK.
The only match confirmed for it thus far is MJF defending the World Heavyweight Title against Adam Cole. On Saturday’s Collision, AEW had Tag Team champions FTR challenge The Young Bucks and Samoa Joe challenge CM Punk to matches at the show.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted All In has sold over 78,000 tickets, surpassing the real WrestleMania 3 attendance figure of 78,000 tickets sold even though WWE inflated the number as they do yearly, to 93,173. WrestleMania 3 was headlined by Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant.
“It passed Hogan-Andre. So, the last number I saw was in the 78,000s. I don’t think it’s at 79 yet. It was 78,000 and, like, 150 ish, yesterday. We’re in the 78,000 range. The next number that I guess would be the goal would be 79,127. So if we’re 600 to get there. That’s about another week, maybe a little less than a week. So that one will, that one will fall. And then the big one, which is the WrestleMania 32, and the Lando record, would probably be. I don’t know, you know, maybe last week. But there, those records are all going down. They will break those records. Unless something unforeseen happens, like all of a sudden nobody buys tickets at the end when they should be in town promoting it the hardest.”
