Note On Early PPV Buyrate Numbers For AEW Dynasty

A new report has some details on the early buyrate numbers for AEW Dynasty 2026. Dynasty took place on Sunday night and was headlined by MJF defending the AEW World Championship against Kenny Omega. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that the early numbers suggest that the show has the second highest number since AEW All In, ranking only behind AEW Revolution in the buyrate.

While specific numbers were not listed, the report notes that the impression is that the show beat AEW Worlds End, which had around 143,000 buys. Tony Khan said at the post-PPV media scrum that the show will be the highest for Dynasty to date, though that was expected since the previous one did 122,000 buys. Khan also noted that it was the best attendance in the PPV’s history.

It is noted that the show is the first time since AEW Revolution that the numbers did not increase on HBO Max. Dynasty still ranks #2 in HBO Max purchases of an AEW PPV, behind only Revolution. As to international numbers, it is not entirely clear because of the introduction of the new streaming service MyAEW that is available to fans outside of the US and Canada.

It was finally noted that no one expected Dynasty to top Revolution, which was a bigger show with a major stipulation in the main event match between MJF and Hangman Page. Revolution also had a longer lead-in time between PPVs to build the story, with Dynasty only having about four weeks between shows as opposed to the 11 weeks that Revolution had. It was added that the show is considered to be a success, given all the above.

AEW’s next show is AEW Double Or Nothing, which takes place on May 24th from Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.
