According to AEW president Tony Khan, the gate for this year’s Grand Slam event at Arthur Ashe Stadium has surpassed the gate from last year.
Khan noted in a tweet that the company is nearing its first $1 million gate for a non-pay-per-view while surpassing the total from the 2021 event at Arthur Ashe Stadium. In 2022, the company has achieved $1 million gates for Double or Nothing, Forbidden Door, and All Out.
