Internal Reaction to 9/18 AEW Dynamite Debut at Mohegan Sun Arena

AEW is pulling out all the stops to make sure every episode of their shows is a must-see event. This week’s AEW Dynamite made its big debut at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and the internal reaction to the show has just been revealed—and it’s looking good!

The September 18th episode was packed with moments that had fans buzzing. From Orange Cassidy defeating Chris Jericho, potentially putting an end to their heated rivalry, to the huge announcement from Ricochet that he’ll be facing Will Ospreay on the October 2nd edition of Dynamite—this show had it all.

According to PWInsider, AEW is very happy with how this week’s show went down. The Mohegan Sun Arena event came close to a sell-out, with only around 500 tickets left unsold, signaling solid support for the brand. Interestingly, some attendees noticed a noticeable increase in WWE merchandise in the crowd compared to previous shows in nearby regions like Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New York. Could this be a sign of crossover fans starting to warm up to AEW?

Fans also seem to agree that this was one of Dynamite’s standout episodes, raising the bar ahead of next week’s highly anticipated Grand Slam edition. With all this momentum, the question remains: can AEW keep up the heat and deliver another killer show next week?
