Unflattering Photo Shows Concerning Turnout for 10/23 AEW Dynamite

Since its launch in 2019, AEW has seen substantial growth and success in the world of professional wrestling. However, since the All Out event in 2021, the momentum has slowed somewhat. Like any organization, AEW faces challenges, and one of the key issues is the difficulty in selling tickets for their live events.

The October 23 episode of Dynamite had a lot of memorable moments throughout the show, which included HOOK confronting Taz’s attacker, MJF and Adam Cole’s feud getting more intense and other solid segments.

The Maverick Center in West Valley City, Utah has a maximum capacity of 12,000. However, AEW Dynamite was set up for 2,849 tickets and they managed to sell 2,540 as per WrestleTix. A less-than-favorable image of the show has now surfaced, showing a significant number of empty seats during a segment featuring Adam Page.

Some critics suggest that AEW’s choice to book oversized venues has led to unflattering visuals, particularly with empty seats, which raises concerns about ticket sales. Despite these challenges, there is hope that AEW can rebound and regain its earlier momentum and success.

However, there is growing apprehension that AEW’s current attendance figures might mirror the decline experienced by WCW in 2000, prompting worries about the company’s future direction. Only time will tell if AEW can effectively address these issues, as fans feel such empty arenas only harm the image of the company.
