AEW is reportedly considering holding September's All Out at Chicago's United Center instead of the traditional NOW Arena.

Fightful first reported the news Thursday.

Outside the 2020 edition held in Jacksonville, Florida, during the pandemic, the annual Labor Day weekend pay-per-view has been held at the NOW Arena (formerly the Sears Centre) since its creation in 2019 as well as its predecessor, All In, in 2018.

The report stated that the go-home editions of both Dynamite and Rampage would remain at the NOW Arena.

It's assumed the driving force for the potential move is the size of the venue as the United Center (home of the NBA's Chicago Bulls and NHL's Blackhawks) can house considerably more fans.

AEW has run the United Center previously and drawn strong attendance, notably for CM Punk's return to wrestling in August 2021 that drew over 15,000 fans. They returned last June for the first-ever Forbidden Door PPV and drew nearly 16,000 fans.

For the three All Out PPVs held at the NOW Arena, ticket sales have been just over 10,000 each time.

Haven't them going to Chicago so much been diminishing returns?

Try new markets, Canada has shown that they could sell out better going to markets that they haven't exhausted.

Move around TK.

WON: Miro rejected to lose in a battle royal match​


Dave Meltzer mentioned the report that Miro is in Bulgaria within the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter. It was noted that Miro and wife C.J. Perry (Lana) have been in Bulgaria for a month. Tony Khan had pitched an idea for him in September for Full Gear. One thing he turned down was losing a Battle Royal where he and Adam Page would have been the last two. Khan had said that after the PPV they’d try and get back and obviously his name hasn’t been mentioned since. He has about three years left on his contract.


:pull Miro...my guy...

The former Nia Jax at an autograph signing this past week was asked if she would consider going to AEW. She said previously the answer was no but with Saraya there, she would be willing to go there

I have to think TK has to be smart enough to listen to his audience here and no one wants her there. Has TK ever brought in someone the IWC hated?
