Update On AEW Double Or Nothing 2023 Pay-Per-View Buys

AEW

An update has emerged on pay-per-view numbers for the May 28 AEW Double or Nothing show, compared to previous AEW PPVs.

Last weekend’s show was a significant one, with several title changes, and numerous twists throughout the night.

Per Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, TV pay-per-view figures for Double or Nothing 2023 were slightly down from March’s Revolution event, however more people went to see the May show in theaters.

Comparing Double or Nothing 2023 with Revolution 2023 and Double or Nothing 2022, Meltzer said:

“The show did pretty decent. The theater business was up significantly from Revolution. Streaming numbers looked about the same.

“Television pay-per-view numbers were down 0.5% based on Wednesday morning numbers compared to Wednesday morning numbers from Revolution.

“So it would sound like very similar numbers, and of course Revolution was a big success. However, Revolution did incredible numbers, like the biggest numbers I’ve ever seen for late buys as far as percentage-wise goes, I guess because of the three big matches.

“But this show had two fantastic matches too, but I don’t know that the word of mouth on this show was as strong as the last show because people were talking about the last show as an all-timer and I didn’t really hear too many people saying that about this show.

“We’ll see about the late buys over the next two weeks. The one thing is that they’re pretty consistent.

“I am going to guess that the number will not end up being as big for the reasons I said, but it will still be relatively in the range of every show since June last year, in that same range.

“At the end of the day, they did well as far as business went across the board. It was down from last year’s Double Or Nothing, but that was Adam Page and Punk, and MJF and Wardlow.

“And they were stronger marquee matches than they had this year. But still, it ended up doing alright. Not too bad.”
