It's quite interesting that AEW sold out their tickets within an hour. The strategy seems to be targeting traditional wrestling markets as well as arenas that could pack in the crowds. AEW certainly are playing within their limitations on what kind of crowds that they can draw in.
They are advertising big matches as well, with the first title defenses of both the AEW World Heavyweight Championship and the AEW Women's World Championship set to take place in Philadelphia.
The AEW roster has a wonderful mix of known mainstream wrestlers like Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Cody Rhodes, and Awesome Kong. They have young talent like Jungle Boy, MJF, Britt Baker and Darby Allin to appeal to a certain demographic to put eyes on the product. With both veterans and rookies, AEW has an exciting blend that could prove enticing for fans.
Will this trend continue or will AEW's honeymoon phase continue to run out? Fans will have to stay tuned in the weeks to come.
