Estimated AEW Double or Nothing PPV buys slightly down from prior year

Nearly a week after the pay-per-view happened, there is a preliminary number for the total number of buys for last Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing.

In this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported the total estimated buys are in the 133,000 range, noting reporting on numbers is a little slow due to Memorial Day weekend.

He stated that as of now, TV buys were up 9.5% from April’s Dynasty PPV with streaming numbers up in the U.S. and about the same internationally, adding that while the TV numbers are “way down” from last year’s Double or Nothing, the streaming numbers are making up for it.

If the show ends in that range, it will be down from last year which did in the 140,000 range. Last year’s show also didn’t have Dynasty the month prior.

The gate at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena was just under $800,000 on 7500 paid attendance (9000 total). That is down from last year’s show at the T-Mobile Arena in the same city which had a gate nearing $900,000 based on 9000 paid (10,500 total).
