Adam Page is waving the AEW flag proudly—and he’s taking a jab at WWE’s soaring ticket prices while doing it.
During a recent interview with WXII 12 News, the AEW star spoke about what it’s like to attend an AEW event for the first time. According to Page, it’s not just fun—it’s packed with surprises and a much better deal than WWE.
“If you’ve never been to a professional wrestling show, going for the first time is like going to a cookout for the first time. You think you know what you’re gonna get. You go up there to order the tray and think, ‘I’ll get a double cheeseburger.’ You think you’re gonna get sides for a side, but you actually get an entire corndog for a side, and maybe even a chicken wrap as a side.”
Page didn’t stop there. He took the metaphor even further by comparing AEW’s unexpected value to getting an over-the-top drink when you least expect it:
“If you think you might just get a Coke or something, you’ll end up with a cherry wine float as your drink.”
The message was clear—AEW gives you more than you expect, and for a lot less than what WWE is charging these days.
“It’s the entire experience — everything you could want, and even things you didn’t know you wanted, you’re gonna get that. So it’s something affordable for you, your family, and everybody involved. Blood and Guts — I’ll say this, it’s gonna be violent.”
This all comes at a time when fans are calling out WWE for hiking ticket prices after the TKO merger, with average costs reportedly doubling in some markets. AEW, meanwhile, is keeping prices low—starting at just $29 for tickets—while offering a product packed with high-octane matches and fan-first energy.
Page’s comments aren’t just about value—they’re about identity. AEW is embracing its role as wrestling’s true alternative, and part of that is giving fans the show they deserve without the bloated prices.
