I don't even know what putting a dent in All Outs buys would accomplish? Its just a regular ass AEW PPV. This formula they're trying here can't be replicated

Walmart strategy. Even if they don't get more buys than AEW, they can afford to absorb a loss if it means their competitor loses buys

Death by a thousand cuts. The idea is to hit the sales on that PPV by cutting out those who might hear about wrestling and think "yeah, let's see what's happening in that now". They'd look it up and end up with All Out, but WWE running a show means that they'll likely end up there instead.

it's not even an apples to apples comparison, like congrats you got more eyes on a show that didn't cost most people more money to watch?

I can't see AEW losing too many buys as AEW fans left WWE because of how they are now. You may get some casuals, but is that truly making a dent?
