AEW presented its Revolution event from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC, which was a success on pay-per-view.
The show was headlined by Sting’s retirement match as Sting and Darby Allin defeated The Young Bucks to retain the Tag Team Titles in a Texas Tornado Match. The show also featured Samoa Joe retaining the World Title over Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page in a triple threat match.
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 strong PPV buys.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that the early TV buys were up 26.2 percent from Worlds End from the same number of days after the show, while streaming numbers in the end with a 25 percent gain so far from Worlds End. International buys were closer to Worlds End, but it should be noted that prices overseas rose by 25 percent, so international revenue should be up.
It’s looking like the show will do about 171,000 to 175,000 worldwide buys. That would be the fourth biggest in company history.
The biggest PPV buyrate was CM Punk’s debut at All Out 2021. The second biggest was All In last year from Wembley, and the third biggest was the Revolution show from two years ago, which was Adam Page against Adam Cole and MJF against CM Punk.
