AEW All Out Sees Pay-Per-View Buy Increase With Late Purchases

AEW presented All In London and All Out on back-to-back weekends. This was quite a daring move for Tony Khan, and he plans to run the same idea next year, because Wembley Stadium is already booked for Bank Day weekend. Now, we have a bit more information about those pay-per-view buys turned out.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has an update on the final numbers for All In and All Out after late pay-per-view buys came in. Of course, AEW also presented WrestleDream over the weekend, marking two events removed from their big Wembley Stadium show.

It was noted that Tony Khan stated that AEW WrestleDream, which took place last Sunday, garnered over 100,000 pay-per-view purchases and outperformed All Out. However, the exact figures remain undisclosed at this time. The event seems to have seen a 16.2% increase compared to All Out but a 56.7% decrease from All In. Streaming purchases were up by 25%.

“Tony Khan after the show said that the show topped 100,000 buys, and beat out the numbers of All Out. Based on the numbers that we have at press time from television buys, it would have been up 16.2 percent from All Out and down 56.7 percent from All In based on the same time frame as far as television buys four days out. Streaming buys worldwide were up a higher percentage up from All Out, closer to 25 percent.”

“Keep in mind that All Out, like other shows based on world-of-mouth, did tremendous late recorded buys, actually the highest percentage of any show I’ve ever seen. It now looks like All Out is very comfortably over 100,000 and right now 115,000 would be a conservative estimate. All In did a 21.5 percent increase with late reported buys, which sounds very high but is actually low for 2023 AEW.”

The final numbers for All In London and All Out after late pay-per-view purchases are now taken into account. It’s believed that All Out itself eventually surpassed 100,000 buys, with a conservative estimate of 115,000. All In saw a 21.5% increase due to late purchases and reached around 192,000 buys. This represents a 36.9% improvement over Forbidden Door, but the Chicago event saw a 14.1% decline from that particular show.

Tony Khan has a lot of fans who are willing to drop money on his pay-per-view events. He made it clear during the WrestleDream media conference that he never confirmed monthly pay-per-view events, but they are certainly adding more to the company’s schedule.
