Double or Nothing 2026 Becomes the Second-Highest-Grossing PPV in AEW History in the United States

The Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York, hosted last night the eighth edition of AEW Double or Nothing, one of the most classic PPVs of All Elite Wrestling. As we previously reported, the venue sold out more than a week before the event took place.

After the event concluded, the company announced that the total number of attendees was 15,015 spectators. Although no figures were provided regarding revenue, it is estimated that the company surpassed one million dollars in earnings, making it the second highest-grossing PPV in the United States, only behind All In Texas. 

With these figures in hand, Double or Nothing 2026 becomes the edition with the highest attendance of all time, surpassing the 2022 edition held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. On that occasion, the show had an official attendance of 14,459 spectators. Last year, Double or Nothing took place at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, where an attendance of 8,200 spectators was recorded, almost half of this year's attendance.

Double or Nothing 2026 featured a great lineup and high-profile matches. Notable moments include Konosuke Takeshita's victory over Kazuchika Okada to win the International Championship, the coronation of Cope & Cage as the new World Tag Team Champions, the start of the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, and the highly anticipated "title vs. hair" match that pitted Darby Allin against MJF in the main event of the night.
