AEW is still riding the momentum of its All In pay-per-view event last month from London, England, at Wembley Stadium, making it the promotion’s biggest event ever.
The show, headlined by MJF retaining the World Heavyweight Title over Adam Cole, brought in 72,265 at the turnstile, according to WrestleNomics.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer gave some more insight into the current estimates for how the show did on pay-per-view (Bleacher Report, FITE TV, traditional cable providers, and other platforms) after it was estimated based on early buys to have done between 168,000 to 184,000.
Meltzer noted that All Out the following week hurt the All In replay buys, but the current television total went from a 37.5 percent increase over Forbidden Door to 28.1 percent. Should they hold up, All In would’ve done closer to 180,000 buys rather than more than 190,000.
This would still make it the second-highest AEW PPV buyrate in company history, behind All Out 2021. All Out is now up to 45 percent of All In for television and 50 percent on streaming, indicating a low of 81,000 total but more likely around 90,000.
The show is the most purchased AEW PPV event of 2023 and the biggest since last year’s Double or Nothing.
