Add as a preferred source on Google AEW Double or Nothing 2026 was a major success for Tony Khan’s company, especially when it came to pay-per-view sales.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the event beat this year’s Revolution by a considerable margin and became AEW’s biggest pay-per-view since the company began offering its specials on HBO Max in the United States.
“It was a huge success. The numbers I saw were 15% above Revolution. I think that number may end up a little lower, but it’s clear it will finish among the five or six biggest pay-per-views in AEW history.”
Even before the event, Meltzer had reported that advance buys were “way above normal” for an AEW pay-per-view. The show was also sold out, with more than 14,000 tickets distributed and a gate close to $1.5 million at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
