They already said there will not be a ton of home arenas. It will be a weekly TV show, with few house shows and occasional PPV's. Quite honestly, 6 PPV's a year is more than enough. Yeah, no house shows, but the weekly TV needs to happen somewhere. The question is where. |

I'd love to see someone run the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center Auditorium, where Takeover: Dallas was held. Place is round so if they set it up right the visual would be amazing.

If they do Indianapolis, the Indiana Farmers Coliseum is a decent venue to aim for, with a 6,500 attendance configuration. It's been recently renovated, too, and regularly hosts events.

I think completely dropping house shows would be a mistake. They’re a great way to develop smaller markets. I certainly wouldn’t be doing a WWE schedule, but I would absolutely sprinkle some house show tours around to help build the fan base. For example, one weekend a month do a Friday, Saturday, Sunday loop and promote the hell out of them
Aggressively targeting underserved WWE markets is a key to their long term growth.

Joe Louis arena is being torn down but I've always loved shows at the Hammerstein ballroom

Better to sell out a small arena, and have fans clamouring for more tickets, than struggle to sell a bigger arena. So yeah, start on the small side of things, and see what the regular demand is like before getting too ambitious.
The Cow Palace is a big arena, it seems, but its connection to wrestling history is strong, and I imagine that's something the AEW guys would like. I could see Cody and the Bucky pushing to run shows there.

Wherever they go, to me, it's the AEW Zone.

The Anaheim Convention Center has a 7,500 seat arena that could make for a nice venue if they can't run the Pond. It's also literally across the street from Disneyland and wrestlers sure do love themselves theme parks.
