WWE & AEW Battling Hard For Same Market This Summer

WWE and AEW have touring schedules, and it really matters when they enter different markets. Even a competitive event a couple of months out can affect ticket sales for their shows, and it appears that Boston is going to get a couple big events this Summer.

AEW Blood & Guts is coming to Boston’s TD Garden on July 19th. They made that announcement on Dynamite, and many fans were excited to see that match return with the Blackpool Combat Club vs The Elite. This will also be AEW’s first show in the famous venue.

WrestleTix noted some interesting numbers for AEW’s Blood & Guts event at the TD Garden. After all, WWE is bringing SmackDown to the same venue in September, and we have those current ticket sales numbers.

Available Tickets => 1,958

These are interesting notes to consider, but there is a lot to those numbers. Not only is WWE setting up for over 1,500 more fans, but WWE is also planning for over 5,200 more fans than they had last time at the TD Garden.

WWE could very well open up more seats for SmackDown, and they have a couple of months to plan for the big show. Now, we will have to see if AEW opens up more seats, or if they will be happy with their current setup.

WWE and AEW have a lot of plans going, and sometimes they venture to the same market in the same period of time. Who would you rather see live? Sound off in the comments!
