AEW has seen a ton of growth since its inception in 2019, with the likes of AEW All In standing out in a big way. In fact, AEW is currently planning to hold a stadium show in Australia for 2025.
A major milestone was holding All In at Wembley Stadium in 2023, and the promotion plans to return for All In 2024. This success has led fans to speculate about AEW hosting a stadium event in the USA and even other countries as well.
According to The Sporting News, AEW is planning a major stadium event in Australia for 2025. The company is considering several venues on Australia’s east coast, including Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, and Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium. Entertainment company TEG is believed to be supporting the event. While the exact date for the show has not been confirmed, AEW’s 2025 schedule remains open.
”It’s understood plans for the company’s maiden Australian show are well advanced, with sources confirming AEW powerbrokers have been scouting venues along Australia’s east coast.
Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium and Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium shape as potential landing spots for the historic show, with entertainment company TEG understood to be backing the event.”
WWE’s recent pay-per-view events in Australia have demonstrated strong fan support for pro wrestling. Over 52,000 people attended the Elimination Chamber in Perth earlier this year, and more than 70,000 fans were present for Super Show-Down at the MCG in 2018.
Apart from that, Tony Khan doesn’t rule out stadium show in the US somewhere down the line and we have also reported how the GlobeLife Field Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is a strong candidate for a stadium-sized show in the USA. Regardless, we will have to wait and see whether AEW will end up getting a stadium show in Australia, as the company is clearly trying to make big moves for next year.
