Tony Khan Addresses Poor AEW Collision Ticket Sales
Numbers have been low for shows booked in Canada
AEW President Tony Khan has addressed the poor ticket sales for upcoming episodes of Collision.
Speaking with John Pollock and Brandon Thurston for Wrestlenomics, Khan said:
"I think really with these Collision events, people don't know what to expect. We've got really strong numbers for the show in Chicago that's going to turn out to be one of the biggest TVs we've done all year for the United Center Collision debut Saturday night this weekend. I think that bodes very well for the future. I know the show in Newark for the first show back from Canada is also doing well. I'm excited to see what happens with our tour in Canada for both Dynamite and Collision. I think these Canadian fans, Collision of course, as you mentioned, will be streaming through TSN, I'm excited about that.
"I do think we have a great chance to promote these events coming up, not just on Dynamite, but also by adding a great debut for Collision to build a lot of buzz for the upcoming episodes. I also think we can build some anticipation for the Owen Hart Cup Matches which will be taking place, and a lot of those will be on Collision also".
The debut episode of Collision will take place this Saturday. It will emanate from the United Center in Chicago and feature the return of CM Punk in the main event (as he teams with FTR against Samoa Joe and Bullet Club Gold).
