>People who still buy WWE PPVs are most successful in states where the average income is the lowest. You'd think people who pay $60 for a PPV would come from more affluent states, instead of paying $8 or $9 on Peacock. But for AEW, it's the opposite. The more affluent the state is, the better they do on PPV. And Oklahoma, where they were tonight, is one of the states where AEW doesn't do well on PPV, while WWE does great. And this really does correlate. I looked at the states where AEW performs worst on PPV, and those are the states they've been running all these shows in. And WWE does great in these states on PPV, amazingly enough.
>It's definitely very different places and different audiences that are buying the PPVs. It's an interesting thing where they're more popular and where they're not, but I think they need to be going to states with the highest income because that's where AEW's popularity is also the highest.
>For whatever reason, poor people don't like AEW, and I'm not saying rich people do, but people in those states seem to a lot more.
