Meltzer noted that of the 200,000+ buys thus far for All Out, streaming numbers (both domestic and international) accounted for 115,000 which was twice the number of last year's show. He estimated late buys could add another 10-15% to the final number and could be more than usual based on Bryan Danielson's debut and the buzz about the Tag Team title cage match.

The amount of buys is the largest for a non-WWE PPV since 1999's WCW Spring Stampede and could be more than the March 1999 Uncensored event when it's all said and done.

Revenue-wise, he estimated AEW took home just under $5 million in post-partner split PPV revenue, live gate & merchandise, and movie theater buys with the total gross being just under $10 million. That number would be the most since February 1999's SuperBrawl in Oakland, California, headlined by Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan ($14.1 million).

All Out set the company's live gate record ($700,000 on 9000+ paid tickets) with "The First Dance" edition of Rampage bringing in around 15,000 paid for $635,000. The upcoming show at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, will break the gate record.
 

Meltzer said that it's either going to be AEW or Impact Wrestling for Windham Rotunda, the former Bray Wyatt in WWE. If Wyatt signs, he said there is talk that his debut would be at the September 29th Dynamite in Rochester, New York -- the hometown of former Wyatt Family member Brodie Lee.
