Below are some top AEW & WWE news stories of the day:
• Tony Khan originally said on the AEW WrestleDream post-show media scrum that this PPV dedicated to the memory of Antonio Inoki did around 100,000 PPV buys.
The Wrestling Observer gave the following update on the pay-per-view buys number:
“WrestleDream didn’t do the late buys that All In and All Out did on television. It is now tracking 4.7 percent lower than All Out for television as of the same number of days after the show. As noted before, it was originally up 25 percent on streaming. It feels like 108,000 to 120,000 at this point, but could be lower.”
