They do seem to have a plan. AEW is in an interesting place at the moment as they have presented a series of shows and will be having another one next month with All Out. After that though, we are coming up on their weekly television show and that is where things are going to get more interesting. With so little time left before the show starts, some details need to be set and that seems to be the case now.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW has a few plans for its future. They are planning to run about 100-120 events a year, including 51 live television shows (with one week off on Christmas Day), meaning about one house show a week. The arenas for their television shows will hold about 6,000 to 11,000 people, with some unique venues being used throughout the year.
They’re ready for the show. Check out the trailer for the upcoming AEW television series:
Opinion: This sounds like a rather well done setup, though I’m not sure how much of a profit everything is going to make. It’s going to be interesting to see how long they can keep up the string of sellouts, as some of the novelty might wear off once these shows are taking place every single week. It’s one thing to have a single show be well received. Doing it every week could be something else entirely.
Does the plan make sense? How many shows will they sell out? Let us know in the comments below.
