What do AEW think of the residency in Arlington?
Aug 13, 2024
All Elite Wrestling have cut back on production costs for AEW Collision in recent months, changing the theme song to an in-house track from Elton John's 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)'. The promotion has also set up a temporary residency at Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas and episodes of Collision, along with Ring of Honor, have been taped from Arlington since July 20. AEW/ROH will remain at the venue until Saturday, August 17.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider has reported that to a person All Elite Wrestling's management have been "really happy" with the residency in Arlington. In particular, management have been delighted with the crowd heat for heels and the overall atmosphere inside Esports Stadium. The promotion has also been "thrilled" with the Arlington partnership so far.
If All Elite Wrestling have plans to return to Arlington for a residency at a later date is unknown. Rumours have suggested that AEW will hold a stadium show in the Dallas/Arlington area in 2025, however, with Globe Life Field - the home of the Texas Rangers - said to be the likely venue.
AEW's residency in Arlington will come to an end this weekend ahead of the promotion heading across the pond for All In. AEW will hold Dynamite and Collision tapings in Cardiff, Wales on Wednesday, August 21 ahead of All In on Sunday, August 25 at London's Wembley Stadium.
