Below are some top news stories of the day, involving Sting and Angel Garza.
• PWInsider reports that AEW Revolution, which marked Sting’s farewell match, attracted a crowd of 16,118 to the Greensboro Coliseum, yielding over $1 million in ticket sales revenue, with an average ticket price of $55. This was the highest gate for the Greensboro Coliseum.
Sting’s retirement bout contributed approximately $349,000 to the gross sales revenue, with nearly all merchandise selling out. The attendance figures surpassed typical family show metrics, aligning more closely with those of a concert.
PPV buys for Revolution were 25% more than Worlds End. It will end up being the 3rd or 4th biggest event in AEW history based on pay-per-view buys.
The Wrestling Observer reported the following about the merch sales at Revolution:
“The merchandise at the show was the biggest for any AEW show in history, except for (All In 2023 at) Wembley. Like 22 bucks a head. $21.84 a head, something like ridiculously high numbers. So, it’s mostly Sting merchandise and the concession numbers.
The food and drink purchases were incredibly high when people were sitting there for a 5-hour show.”
