>In a groundbreaking achievement, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) shattered records by drawing the biggest live gate in its history during Sunday's joint Forbidden Door pay-per-view event with New Japan Pro-Wrestling. This historic milestone also marked the third-largest gate ever recorded in Canada, while simultaneously securing the title for the largest non-WWE show in North American history.
>With a staggering $1.2 million in U.S. dollars, the live gate surpassed the previous record set by any non-WWE professional wrestling event in North America. Converted to Canadian dollars, the figure equates to approximately $1.6 million. Tony Khan, the CEO of AEW, expressed his pride in achieving this milestone, declaring it a new record for the promotion, which has only been in operation for four years. However, this record is expected to be short-lived, as it is projected to be shattered by a minimum of 600% at the upcoming All In event at London's iconic Wembley Stadium on August 27.
>Notably, AEW's Forbidden Door pay-per-view even outpaced WWE's highly anticipated Elimination Chamber event held in Montreal back in February. Despite the latter's main event featuring Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn, AEW's show managed to surpass it.
>The 1990 WrestleMania, headlined by Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior generated a staggering $3,490,857 for what was then known as WWF. The 2002 WrestleMania, which featured a monumental showdown between Hogan and Dwayne Johnson, raked in an impressive $3,846,073. It is important to note that these events took place at the significantly larger Rogers Centre, formerly known as the SkyDome.
>As fans eagerly await the upcoming All In event, AEW continues to redefine the boundaries and raise the bar for the sport, promising even greater success and spectacle in the future.
