10 AEW Nightmares That Could Come True In 2024

9. The PPV Schedule Blows Up

AEW will have produced no less than seven pay-per-views in 2023 by the time credits roll on Full Gear come 18 November. That's two more than 2022, and three more than any prior year (2019 had three supershows, but was truncated due to the company's mid-year launch).

It looks like management will continue piling on the big events heading into next year too. Hey, if there's a demand for content then there's a demand for content. How much is too much though? All Elite pay-per-views should feel special, not least because there's no monthly subscription model like the WWE Network/Peacock to lessen the burden on fan bank accounts; at least at time of writing.

10-12 AEW supershows per year might be overkill.

The New Japan crossovers Forbidden Door and WrestleDream could be axed easily. Sure, the latter was a touching tribute to Antonio Inoki, but it shouldn't become an annual offering. Keeping the core Revolution, Double Or Nothing, All In/All Out and Full Gear formula is perfectly fine.
