Backstage News on WWE Booking a Live Event on the Same Night as AEW Worlds End PPV – AEW announced that their upcoming Worlds End pay-per-view will take place on December 28 at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida. In a surprising move, WWE also scheduled a house show in Orlando on the same night at the Kia Center, just minutes away from AEW’s venue.
While this clash of events is unlikely to impact AEW’s pay-per-view buys significantly, it could affect their live attendance numbers due to WWE’s strong draw, especially during their holiday tour.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, the reaction within AEW to this in-town competition has been one of understanding and acceptance. Sapp noted, “Based on the reactions that I’ve got, just a ‘Well of course they are’ type of thing. Yes, it will affect ticket sales. WWE is a very, very hot ticket right now, and it’s their holiday tour, so that will do good. This is obviously intentional and a concentrated effort, and it’s a part of competition. It’s just the nature of competition and the way things work.”
This scheduling conflict highlights the ongoing rivalry between WWE and AEW as both companies vie for audience attention, particularly in a major market like Orlando.
