10 Absurd AEW Vs. WWE Comparisons (...That Make TOTAL Sense)

2. AEW Sold More Tickets And Quicker Than WWE Did For Their Recent UK Stadium Return

The fact a company as young as AEW was able to move a staggering 36,000 tickets for a show on the other side of the pond during their first day on sale is already insane in its own right.

But when you compare AEW's All In 2023 success with WWE's own recent UK stadium outing by the name of Clash at the Castle, the company's efforts look even more impressive.

For WWE's first UK stadium event in 30-years, 30,000 tickets were sold during the pre-sale stage, with an eventual attendance of 62,296 being announced on the night of the PLE itself.

Incredibly, AEW have already managed to sell a ridiculous 65,000 tickets for their London debut, with there still being a few months to add to that giant number.

This means the company will easily surpass WWE's also commendable attendance and sales for their massive UK show.

You always knew European fans were going to jump at the chance to finally witness the All Elite experience live after all these years. But few could've honestly predicted AEW filling a stadium the size of Wembley at this stage.

At the end of the day, though, the fact both promotions have managed to bring in over 60,000 wrestling fans overseas can't be classed as anything other than a gigantic win for the business in general.
