Belief That Vince McMahon Doesn’t Care About AEW’s Record-Breaking Wembley Stadium Attendance

AEW held a historic night of pro wrestling at Wembley Stadium for All In London. Although the event might have been over-shadowed in some ways by the CM Punk and Jack Perry backstage confrontation, AEW has a lot to be proud of. That doesn’t mean Vince McMahon cares.

During the AEW All In London show, it was announced that the event claimed 81,035 fans were in attendance. This was a new pro wrestling record, and they celebrated in a big way in Wembley Stadium.

While speaking to Wrestling News, Brian Gewirtz discussed his current role as the Senior Vice President of Development at “Seven Bucks Productions,” which is owned by Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia. He also went into how he believes Vince McMahon sees AEW’s big Wembley Stadium show.

“Honestly, this is gonna sound maybe like a false answer or a cop out. I really don’t think he cares. I really don’t. Now granted, I started at WWE on the creative team in November ’99. So, yes, there was still the Monday Night Wars technically, but there wasn’t much warring going on although Russo and Ferrara had just left WWE and started a month ago, so you really didn’t know what was going to happen.”

“Yes, as some people pointed out, there would be in the Gorilla position, the area right before you go through the curtain, there would be monitors and one of them would be tracking and have Turner on and WCW would be on, but Vince was always focused on his show and his product. He wasn’t really concerned, at least outwardly with what the competition was doing. He was aware of it. I’m sure in the case of England, if someone was like, ‘Hey AEW has this thing. Maybe we can have something with John Cena.’ He would be like, ‘Go ahead and do it.’ He certainly would be cognizant of it, but it wasn’t like, ‘How am I going to take those guys down?’ It wasn’t anything like that. He’s really like, ‘Worry about your stuff and everything will fall into place because you can’t control what other people are doing. You can only control what you have right in front of you’, and that’s what you got to do.”

Brian Gewirtz is a former WWE writer, and The Rock loved him enough to take him with him to form Seven Bucks Productions. Naturally, Brian Gewirtz knows a bit about how Vince McMahon operates, and it’s not impossible to believe that McMahon would feel that way about AEW All In London.

We’ll have to see if AEW can replicate the same response in terms of crowd size next year, because they have already announced AEW All In London 2 for August 25th, 2024.
