WWE Chairman Vince McMahon might be furious after AEW sold more tickets than his company. It has been noted how since the launch of AEW, the promotion has hosted events at smaller capacity that would usually have a provision of 5,000 seats. But for the pay-per-view events, some shows would have the capacity of 10,000 seats.
