Gabe Kidd Confronts The Dogs at Oct. 22nd PRODUCE Volume 6 Event

This past Thursday’s PRODUCE Wrestling Volume 6: Hell Comes To Dogtown event in Los Angeles, California featured Gabe Kidd confronting his former fellow The Dogs’ members Clark Connors and David Finlay.

This event was co-produced by Kidd, Connors, and Finlay when they were originally a trios group prior to Connors and Finlay turning on Kidd and uniting with the Bang Bang Gang at this past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in Coral Gables, Florida.

During the event, Kidd got into a heated confrontation with Connors and Finlay over their recent betrayal of him and the Death Riders.

AEW is currently estimated to have generated between 100,000 to 110,000 pay-per-view buys for their WrestleDream 2026 event on October 17 at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

In regards to breakdowns, Meltzer reported that WrestleDream’s television buys were down while the HBO MAX numbers were higher than last year’s event.

Meltzer also reported that WrestleDream’s numbers are currently lower domestically and higher internationally than what Redemption did.
