The media scrum is currently scheduled for 12:30 a.m. ET. If one accounts for the Buy-In pre-show that is highlighting 3 different matches this evening, that is an estimated runtime of over 5 hours for the entire event.
Some personalities in the world of professional wrestling have criticized AEW for the length of their Pay-Per-Views. Most recently, AEW Double Or Nothing in May. The runtime of the show ended up being over 5 and 1/2 hours if viewers also tuned into the Buy-In pre-show.
“We just finished watching Double or Nothing, this is why we’re delirious and nuts right now because that pay-per-view lasted roughly 36 hours,” Renee Paquette said on a recent edition of her podcast. “That was a very long pay-per-view.”
