All Elite Wrestling is a $2 billion company.
Mike Ozanian, the Assistant Managing Editor of Forbes Media and co-host/Managing Editor of Forbes SportsMoney, did a study on the AEW business and valued the company at over $2 billion.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter also chimed in with his thoughts on the figure.
โFor all those skeptical of the $1 billion number for AEW, if Bellatorโs sale is talking about $500 million, thereโs no way AEW as a franchise isnโt far more than twice as valuable,” he wrote.
Fight Oracle responded, Dave, $1 billion valuation for AEW isnโt even close. Itโs a lot more. Valuations are more art than science. But Khans donโt need investment so the valuation doesnโt really matter. Theyโll self fund aka boot scrap and wonโt be diluted upon exit/liquidity event.”
Ozanian then responded, “Likely minimum.”
AEW is big business, folks!

@fightoracle I did some reporting on this past couple of days and $2b valuation for AEW is likely minimum. https://t.co/RUGcg001hC
