According to Wrestling Observer Live’s Bryan Alvarez, up to 10,000 tickets were sold today for AEW’s TV premiere – which is, whatever way you look at it, a ridiculous number!

Already announced for the episode are Cody vs. Sammy Guevara, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho an two mystery partners, a match to crown the first ever AEW Women’s Champion, and an appearance from Jon Moxley.
