What is being said about AEW running smaller buildings more frequently in 2025

Last week, it was announced that the December 7th 2024 edition of AEW Collision has been moved from The Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio to the Greater Columbus Convention Center. There was talk that AEW might start running smaller buildings more frequently in 2025.

During Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com commented on the matter…

“I’m gonna be kind of vague but it’s happening, I just don’t know all the technical details. I have been told that there is headway being made in running smaller buildings. Now you hear that and think, why does headway need to be made? Just book smaller buildings. Well apparently, there actually was a logistical reason why they were running a lot of larger buildings and it had to do with the set and in particular, the lighting rig. There was something that they had in their set that was basically too large and heavy to get into smaller buildings and so they have been working on retooling it so they can actually get their set into smaller buildings.

So I think as the year 2025 kind of starts coming in, they’ve been talking about different ideas for production and everything like that. I think we’re going to finally get the move. There are gonna be smaller buildings. They’re gonna work on some production and hopefully, that will be a positive in terms of how the show looks, sounds. etc. on television. And they will save a lot of money.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
