AEW likely won’t be running a stadium show in the United States anytime soon.
Tony Khan was asked about the possibility of doing a major show in the United States on par with All In at Wembley Stadium during a recent interview with Comicbook.com. The AEW president responded that there are no plans to run such an event anytime in the immediate future.
“It’s not something that we would be looking to do anytime here in the immediate future,” Khan said. “But it is an exciting idea and something I think that we absolutely could do and something that would be very interesting.”
A report from Fightful earlier this week stated that AEW was looking at running a major event, possibly a stadium show, in Texas next year. Khan would neither confirm nor deny those reports but spoke glowingly about shows his promotion has run in the state.
“I can’t comment on the accuracy of such reports or the immediate future, but we’ve had great shows over the years in Texas,” Khan continued. “We’ve never done an AEW pay-per-view in Texas. We’ve done a lot of Ring of Honor pay-per-views there. A lot of AEW’s biggest TV episodes have been in Texas, but the one thing we’ve never brought is an AEW pay-per-view, and Lord knows there’s a lot of demand for it. I think that would be a fascinating thing for us to try.”
AEW begins its summer residency at the Esports Stadium Arlington in Arlington, Texas on Saturday. Episodes of Collision will air from the venue each week until August 17. Additionally, Battle of the Belts XI, ROH Death Before Dishonor, and several other ROH events will take place there over the coming month.
