>AEW’s first-ever event in Australia isn’t going as planned, and fans aren’t happy. What was originally set to be a massive stadium show at Suncorp Stadium has now been downsized to a much smaller event at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre—and many fans are feeling scammed over the changes.
>Over on r/squaredcircle, one frustrated fan wrote, “I feel totally ripped off and scammed. What went from a 4-hour event with finales to feuds and insane matches has just become a weekly TV taping? This is absolutely shameful.” That post quickly set off a wave of backlash, with others expressing their disappointment.
>One fan had hoped AEW’s original vision for the show would have been enough to win over their non-wrestling friends but now feels completely let down. “I convinced a bunch of non-wrestling friends to come with me and some to FLY here from across the country… until the recent announcement that the SHOW HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED TO A TV TAPING. From a 4-hour PPV to a 2-hour Collision. That is absolutely such a kick in the balls.”
>Another fan who planned to attend admitted they wouldn’t be too upset if AEW just scrapped the whole thing. “Honestly if they cancelled the show I’d be so bummed out but also would sort of be happy to get my $750 back. Obviously don’t want that to happen but it’s been such a drag that if they did it I’ve already been beat down enough where I’d not care that much.”
>Some have even said they won’t bother with AEW in the future if this is how the company handles international events. “I hate travelling, money’s tight right now but I figured at least I’d get to see AEW put on a huge show… I’d never go see an AEW show again but honestly I doubt they’ll come back anyway after how this debacle went.”
