AEW PPV History

All Elite Wrestling traditionally holds at least 4 pay-per-view events per year, with 2022 and 2023 seeing the company up their pay-per-view offerings with the addition of "Forbidden Door" (the co-produced event with NJPW), "ALL IN: London", "WrestleDream" and "Worlds End" in 2023. In 2024, AEW added "Dynasty" as an annual pay-per-view for the month of April. So far, AEW has held 25 PPV's (26 if you count the first Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen events from 2019). The flagship event is AEW's "Double or Nothing" which is held in May and is traditionally held in Las Vegas, Nevada, while "ALL OUT" is traditionally held in Chicago, Illinois. Their "big four" PPVs are "Revolution" (held in late-February/early-March), "Double or Nothing" (held in May), "ALL OUT" (held in late-August/early-September) and "Full Gear" (held in November). In addition to these, "Forbidden Door" has been held since 2022 (held in June) and features a co-branded event with the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling. In 2023, AEW added "ALL IN: London" (which was held in August in Wembley Stadium in front of AEW's largest crowd ever at over 80 thousand fans) and "WrestleDream" to it's PPV schedule (which was held in October) and was a tribute to Antonio Inoki (founder of New Japan Pro Wrestling).  Also, "Worlds End" was added which takes place in  the month of December as AEW's final pay-per-view offering of the year. In 2024, "Dynasty" was added as an April event.
