Below are some top news stories of the day, involving AEW and Bo Dallas.
• AEW’s Double or Nothing, regarded as the company’s premier event, returned to Las Vegas this year. Held at MGM Grand Arena on May 26, the event generated $582,204 from 9,099 attendees, according to Pollstar. The preceding Collision event added $112,298 from 3,944 ticket sales.
Per Wrestlenomics, AEW budgeted $3,868,200 for both the pay-per-view and Collision events combined. This figure was part of an application for a $373,388 tax credit submitted to the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development. The average ticket price was $64 for Double or Nothing and $28 for Collision.
This year’s attendance for Double or Nothing was slightly lower than 2023’s, which had 10,550 attendees. The event’s profitability hinges on undisclosed pay-per-view sales and media revenue from the Collision broadcast.
Double or Nothing’s gate likely stands as AEW’s second-highest of the year, following Revolution’s over $1 million gate in Greensboro. The upcoming All In event in London on August 25 is expected to surpass these figures, with over 40,000 tickets already distributed.

• The sinister actions of Uncle Howdy and his faction, The Wyatt Sick6, intensified on the June 24 edition of Monday Night RAW. Following their destructive debut last week, the group continued their unsettling campaign.
After Chad Gable’s victory in the Money In The Bank triple-threat qualifying match, a mysterious woman from The Wyatt Sick6 handed WWE announcer Michael Cole a VHS tape. When played, the tape showed Uncle Howdy in a dimly lit setting conversing with his alter-ego, Bo Dallas.
The emotional exchange centered around Bray Wyatt, with Howdy’s mention of carrying Bray’s legacy stirring a desire in Dallas to emulate and join his brother. In a chilling twist, Howdy claimed he and his stable were there to save Dallas, who accepted this troubling offer.
A key detail that many might have missed was the significance of the filming location. The segment took place in the iconic Firefly Fun House, evident from the door with the board and other familiar settings visible in the dark.
