Tony Khan’s AEW earned a massive profit in 2023
AEW achieved a huge milestone in 2023. According to the reports, the pro wrestling promotion earned a profit of around $170 million. The promotion finished the year 2022, grossing about $100 million in revenue. This means that in just one year, AEW not only doubled but increased its profit by around 64 to 69% percent, which is commendable.
Despite the staggering numbers, many believe that AEW still didn’t make enough profit, as several factors also led the promotion to face backlash in the second half of 2023.
All In 2023 was held in August in Wembley Stadium, London. The event broke attendance records and was the promotion’s biggest PPV of all time. But the backstage brawl between CM Punk and Jack Perry led to many problems afterward.
The company saw a decrease in rankings and viewership, which was accompanied by less attendance on weekly shows. Tony Khan is very hopeful for 2024, and only time will tell how AEW will do this year.
