AEW burst onto the scene in 2019 with a bang, reaching its pinnacle after the All Out 2021 event and establishing itself as a dominant force in the world of professional wrestling. However, the company is currently grappling with several challenges, one of which is the struggle to sell tickets for their live shows.

During the March 16th, 2024 episode of AEW Collision at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, significant incident occurred that has sparked concern among fans. An unflattering photo from the show, particularly during Adam Copeland’s segment featuring his Spiked weapon, surfaced, revealing a dishearteningly sparse attendance.

This visual has prompted discussions about AEW’s choice of larger venues, which some argue may contribute to these unflattering snapshots. The concerns raised suggest that perhaps downsizing venue choices could mitigate such optics and improve the overall presentation.

Despite these challenges, there remains optimism for AEW’s potential to overcome these obstacles and return to its former glory. Many fans hope that the company will reassess its strategies and find ways to rejuvenate ticket sales and reclaim its status as a dominant force in the wrestling world.

However, there’s also a lingering worry that AEW’s current attendance levels may mirror the troubling trajectory of WCW in 2000, a comparison that raises red flags for the company’s future.

As fans voice their concerns and opinions on social media platforms like Instagram, it’s clear that AEW faces a critical juncture in its journey. How the company responds to these challenges will undoubtedly shape its trajectory in the coming months and years.
