AEW ran an angle last night setting up the eventual MJF vs. Chris Jericho rematch. The storyline is that Jericho will have to get through every member of the Pinnacle to get his match with MJF. One would think they'll hit that match at All Out, but that's not confirmed.
Last night's AEW Dynamite in Miami, Florida was a few hundred tickets shy of a sellout, PWInsider.com is told. AEW sold out the initial tickets that were placed on sale when they originally were under a stricter COVID-19 safety protocol and opened up far more seats, which sold much slower.
Last night's taping featured Darby Allin and Sting appearing for Dark - Elevation. PWInsider.com is told that as the company moves back to being on the road, there will be an increase in emphasis on shows like Elevation so expect AEW names, matches and angles planned for that show to keep it unique and special for viewers. The idea is to make sure Elevation remains a destination to set the stage for the week.
Next week's Dynamite in Austin, Texas is sold out in advance, but the promotion hopes to open some seats up as they lock in production the day of the taping.
AEW has seen some markets, including Charlotte, that are currently outpacing their previous visits in terms of advance ticket sales.
For those who have asked after the Chris Jericho incident last night, Atlas Security is not currently working with AEW and haven't been since the advent of the pandemic.
