AEW Forbidden Door 2025 could break WWE record
Sunday’s AEW Forbidden Door could break a WWE record that has stood since 2023.
WrestleTix has reported that the show has sold 17,573 as of this with only 175 left available at the building.
It was reported by WrestleTix back in 2023 that WWE’s Money in the Bank event had 17,617 distributed tickets, meaning that All Elite Wrestling could very well beat that number tonight in exactly the same building.

AEW to break WWE record?
However, it is worth noting that the gate for that MITB event was £2,615,789 GBP ($3,323,751 USD), likely to be far higher than Forbidden Door due to WWE tickets being higher on average than those for All Elite Wrestling shows.
There’s still the opportunity for the company to do it, and being able to say that you’re the biggest PPV/PLE event in the O2 Arena ever, surpassing even WWE, it quite the accomplishment. This is also a big moment for NJPW, who have seen business falling in recent years since the creation of AEW and some of their biggest stars like Kenny Omega, Kazuchika Okada and The Young Bucks leaving.
We’ll be covering the event in full today here at F4W Online, follow our live event coverage if you aren’t able to catch the show live.
