AEW presented its WrestleDream 2023 event earlier this month from Seattle, WA, at Climate Pledge Arena and was a success on pay-per-view.
The show was headlined by Christian Cage retaining the TNT Title over Darby Allin in a two out of three falls match. The show also featured the debut of Adam Copeland after the main event, where he made the save for Sting and Allin.
Coming out of the show while speaking to the media after the AEW PPV event, AEW President Tony Khan noted the show was looking to have done solid PPV buys.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that the show looks to have done 108,000 to 120,000 at this point, although it could be lower.
Meltzer wrote, “WrestleDream didn’t do the late buys that All In and All Out did on television. It is now tracking 4.7 percent lower than All Out for television as of the same number of days after the show. As noted before, it was originally up 25 percent on streaming. It feels like 108,000 to 120,000 at this point, but could be lower.”
Meltzer added that WrestleDream did half of the TV buys as All In, indicating 96,000 buys on TV alone.
