Tony Khan Addresses AEW Being ‘Cold,’ Says There Has Been Positive Momentum And Feedback Recently
Tony Khan comments on AEW attendance numbers.
AEW attendance figures for weekly shows have dropped in the second half of 2023 with numbers down from prior visits to certain arenas. According to WrestleTix, AEW is bringing in between 2,000 and 3,000 fans for events and rarely selling out.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer recently said that the company is “cold” right now.
Appearing on The Dan Le Batard Show, Tony Khan was asked about AEW being “cold” and how the company can change that perception.
“We’ve really begun to change it. The perception is very strong for AEW worldwide. 44 days ago, we set the all-time record for ticket sales for any wrestling show ever in the history of the planet. We’re having a very good year, our pay-per-view numbers are through the roof, and we’re going to have a great show tonight on TBS. The fans are behind what we’re doing, people are mobilized behind this lineup, I’ve seen more positive momentum and positive feedback about AEW in the last 24 hours than I have in several weeks and that’s saying a lot because we’ve had a lot of huge shows in the last several weeks,” he said.
AEW Dynamite is set to air on Tuesday, October 10 this week due to the MLB Playoffs airing on Wednesday.
The show will go head-to-head with NXT.
