5 Ups & 7 Downs For AEW In 2023 (So Far)

1. The Wembley Stadium Ticket Rush

AEW only announced that they'd be invading London's Wembley Stadium this summer on 5 April. Some critics scoffed, but Tony Khan had the last laugh when tickets went on sale. AEW shifted around 36,000 briefs during the first day of pre-sales, then announced they'd hit 43,000 the next day.

General sales started on 5 May, and the number soared to approx 60,000. That's a magnificent achievement, and shows there's a hunger for non-WWE stadium shows in the UK. Make no mistake, this was a massive success for AEW, and one they're rightly bragging about.

Now, there's a very-real chance the company could fill Wembley in late-August. Imagine that?! Sure, there will likely be some comps and discounted tiks along the way, but this is still set to be a money-spinner for Khan and AEW. It's colossal, and probs ruffled a few feathers at WWE HQ too.

Where's that 'angrytremblingTriple H.GIF' file when one needs it?
