Estimated AEW Worlds End PPV buys & totals for 2025
The early estimates are in for last weekend’s AEW Worlds End pay-per-view when it comes to how many people purchased it, giving an additional estimate on AEW’s total PPV buys for 2025.
In this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer estimated the Saturday show in the range of 140,000 buys worldwide which would make it their best success on PPV since July’s All In: Texas which was their benchmark for the year and in line with November’s Full Gear.
That number would include both linear/traditional and digital (HBO Max, Triller, etc).
At the post-event press conference, AEW head Tony Khan said numbers were “very good” according to the numbers he had. Meltzer wrote, “Two people with knowledge of the overall numbers both said it would do as good or slightly better than Full Gear.”
Estimated AEW PPV buys in 2025:
- Revolution (March): 135,000-140,000
- Dynasty (April): 110,000-120,000
