Despite the WWE doing away with the medium in 2014, with the launch of their WWE Network, All Elite Wrestling has relied on the pay per view model since its formation in 2019. They are what the company makes a lot of its money on, and helps gauge who is a big draw and who isn’t.
AEW PPV buys are very important to the success of the company. Due to how expensive large events are to put on, they need to recoup their money (beyond ticket sales) and pay per view is the best way to do that.
Here are the buy rates for every AEW Pay Per View in history. These numbers were taken from a variety of reliable sources, and are the most accurate numbers we have available to us.
