First Look Inside AEW Dynamite’s Blood & Guts Setup

A new photo from inside the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina shows the setup for tonight’s AEW Blood & Guts event — and it confirms what many expected.

While the stage design and lighting are fully decked out with the “All Elite Experience” theme and both rings already set up inside the double cage, the crowd turnout paints a different picture.

The configured setup for tonight’s show is just over 5,100 seats, but the venue itself can hold more than 20,000. Entire sections of the upper bowl are completely blacked out or empty. Even on the floor and lower bowl, large gaps in seating are clearly visible as the show nears airtime. Recent estimates put the ticket distribution at 4,763, with only about 137 moved in the final 24 hours. Despite two major cage matches and a special extended run time of two and a half hours, the show is barely on track to match AEW’s average crowd for 2025.

AEW went all in on production for this year’s Blood & Guts, but the live turnout tells another story.
