Will Ospreay is aiming to push AEW All In 2026 at Wembley Stadium past 50,000 tickets, with about 42,000 distributed five days before the August 30 pay-per-view, headlining against Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship and doing media rounds to drive sales.
AEW All In 2026 at Wembley Stadium has distributed 42,028 tickets so far (up 192), with Wembley’s 2024 event having 53,922 tickets distributed. About 353 resale tickets remain on the market, with the cheapest resale at £31.70. New seats were added in sections 229 and 230. The event card features multiple title bouts and a Casino Gauntlet with several entrants, plus other matches — some competitors are still to be announced.
AEW's post-Wembley Dynamite in Allen, Texas is selling poorly, with 1,732 tickets distributed (up 97 in a week) versus a year-to-date average of 3,234.

AEW Dynamite drew 587,000 viewers this week, its lowest in ten weeks and below the previous week’s 658,000, with a 0.10 rating in 18-49—the smallest since June 24.

AEW reportedly lost at least $30 million on Fight Forever due to prolonged development and sales underperformance.

AEW reportedly wrote down at least $30 million on the Fight Forever game after a delayed 2022–2023 release, with sales roughly half of expectations; the company isn’t ruling out revisiting the title later, but no timeline is set, and licensing rumors remain unconfirmed.
Insider Gaming reported that AEW's Fight Forever was a massive money loser, tallying at least a $30 million hit due to missed development deadlines and higher costs, with sales roughly half of internal expectations.

Renee Paquette will host sit-down interviews on AEW Dynamite this week, interviewing Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay, then Willow Nightingale and Mercedes Mone ahead of their AEW Women’s World Championship match at All In 2026.

Nightingale was attacked by Mone last week, fueling the All In storyline.
AEW’s MJF publicly declined to appear in NJPW’s G1 Climax 2027 after a social-media exchange with Ryohei Oiwa, suggesting he won’t compete in the tournament. It’s unclear if the stance is genuine or a gimmick, but securing MJF for NJPWWorld would be a major coup and draw.
