Internal talent reaction to low attendance and if they think AEW will go out of business - Reports

AEW recently celebrated its fifth anniversary. The company continues to sign new talents and put on loaded shows, but they are also dealing with issues surrounding low attendance and TV ratings. New information from backstage offers a look at what is being said about All Elite Wrestling's troubles.

Fans have shared photos of empty arenas since the early days of All Elite Wrestling, and this is a problem that WWE has also had to deal with in the past. However, Tony Khan's company seems to be struggling to sell out smaller venues, and there's a narrative that the issue has steadily continued with no significant improvement.

Within AEW, talents are reportedly not very concerned, but many have acknowledged the problem. When asked about potential concerns on a Fightful Select Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp noted that he wouldn't say concerns, but many people have their own thoughts on how to fix the issue, or how to make ticket sales go up.

The AEW roster, and others within the company, know that there is an issue. However, no one thinks the young promotion will be going out of business or anything that devastating.
