All Elite Wrestling’s recent AEW Revolution pay-per-view was a huge financial success for the company, as the early pay-per-view numbers for the show look to be the strongest, not only in All Elite Wrestling history, but the strongest for any non-WWE show in the United States since 1999, according to a report from Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer.
The report notes that the event, which was headlined by Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley in an Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match for the AEW World Championship and featured the AEW debut of Christian Cage plus more did in excess of $6 million and likely will end up closer to, if not above the $7 million mark, with All Elite Wrestling to take around 50% of the total revenue due to the split with distribution partners.
The report adds that the B/R Live streaming numbers, which are the primary source of buys for the promotion were said to be up more than 50% from the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view in November and were the highest of any show in AEW’s history to date, while international streaming buys were up between 20%-40% from the last show.
