Second biggest PPV in terms of what? Buy rate? If it's not All In, then what is it? The first DoN?

My favorite PPV is still Full Gear. Not biased at all.

Nice to hear though they’re still doing insane buys. Not too shabby to almost beat your record from only 2021.

AEW All In from London's Wembley Stadium wasn't just a hit at the box office, but on pay-per-view as well.

In this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided some context and specifics regarding Tony Khan's statements that the PPV is trending toward the second-most purchased PPV in company history.

Meltzer said the current estimates for both streaming and linear buys put All In between 20-30% higher than recent shows which have been in the 140,000 buy range.

"If those numbers hold up, that would indicate 168,000 to 184,000. A lot is dependent upon late buys which are a high percentage for pro wrestling these days," he wrote.

Meltzer noted that those late buys will place it anywhere from second to fourth all-time for AEW.

AEW's most-purchased PPV of all time is 2021's All Out which generated 215,000 buys thanks to the return of CM Punk. March 2022's Revolution brought in 175,000 buys while May 2022's Double or Nothing did 165,000.

With three PPVs left to go on this year's calendar (as far as what has been announced), All In is the company's most purchased of this year, beating Revolution, Double or Nothing and Forbidden Door.

The final gate revenue has not been revealed, but is said to be over $10 million. Meltzer also noted that merchandise for the day was in the $1.4 million range.

The show was a first in several ways for AEW which included them running an afternoon PPV for the first time in addition to their first show overseas.

More than 81,000 fans were in attendance and the second All In was already announced for next August in the same venue.
