AEW Finds Success in the Land Down Under

AEW Grand Slam: Australia, held on February 15, 2025, at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, achieved notable success both financially and in terms of viewership. The event generated a gate revenue of $1.3 million, ranking as the third-highest in All Elite Wresting’s history. Attendance figures indicate that approximately 11,000 to 12,000 tickets were distributed, nearing the venue’s capacity of 13,500.

Originally slated for the 52,000-seat Suncorp Stadium, the event was relocated to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre due to reportedly sluggish ticket sales. Despite this change, the event’s financial performance remained strong.

In terms of viewership, the broadcast drew 502,000 viewers, with one million tuning in for the match featuring Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay versus Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher. AEW’s leadership expressed satisfaction with these numbers, highlighting the positive momentum leading into the event.

However, some fans expressed dissatisfaction with the event’s promotion and venue change, feeling misled about the scale and nature of the show. Despite these concerns, the event delivered strong financial results and viewership (hitting millions of dollars and at one point millions of viewers), indicating overall success.
