WWE has the power to hype up its fans. A mere event announcement often unites WWE fans. The promotion has a great hold over its viewers and the stats are always there to prove it. Recent reports are coming in about yet another huge announcement by WWE. While WrestleMania 39 sales were enough for the promotion to brag about, they did not stop there.
Reports are out about the announcement of SummerSlam 2023. Although every WWE PPV is a big deal for the promotion’s fans, the sales for the summer event show seems to be something that fans are paying special attention to.

WrestleMania is a whole other deal when it comes to WWE’s PPV events. Some even call it the ‘super bowl of wrestling’. So, it is a fact that all fans will be looking for a chance to book their way into the stadium. Counting the WrestleMania events out of the comparison, SummerSlam 2023 has booked numbers never seen before.

It is being reported that this is the largest day-one sale for any stadium event in WWE history keeping WrestleMania aside. No other PPV from the promotion has ever come close to booking 32K tickets on the first day itself. The event is scheduled for August 5, 2023. Fans are still speculating about the storylines that will be at the forefront. The excitement does not appear to be dying out anytime between these four months.
To compete with its rival promotion, AEW president Tony Khan has also announced one of the biggest events of his company.
WWE leaves its opponent behind
The biggest highlight of AEW’s ‘All In’ is the venue they have booked. Tony Khan’s company has decided to take it to London’s Wembley Stadium. To compete better, Khan is going to host his event in August as well. The pre-sale of AEW’s upcoming event sits at 45K signees, while the actual sale is yet to be open for fans. This breaks the record for WWE’s 32K ticket sale but the competition does not conclude there.

AEW has seen a huge number of signees during the pre-sale period that back off last moment. Previously, AEW saw less than half of the pre-sale signees as the actual audience. So, even though Tony Khan’s promotion might appear to be ahead with the pre-sale numbers, WWE could still be counted ahead of its opponent in a practical sense.
