Arthur Ashe Stadium Officials Reportedly ‘Thrilled’ With AEW Grand Slam

We are still reverberating from the first half of AEW Grand Slam, after Dynamite was aired live on Wednesday from New York’s Arthur Ashe Stadium.

With a crowd of over 20,000 attending for Dynamite and the subsequent Rampage tapings, the event is being touted as a success, with a report from Ewrestlingnews claiming “management at Arthur Ashe stadium were said to have been thrilled with the results and ‘can’t wait’ to have AEW return in the future.”

Grand Slam is being touted as the biggest non-WWE wrestling show in the USA and Canada since WCW ran Nitro from The Georgia Dome on July 5 1999, with over 25,000 fans witnessing the infamous ‘fingerpoke of doom’.

AEW’s Tony Khan recently said he wants to run Arthur Ashe every year, and judging by early reactions to their first run, a return would certainly be well received. With fans already hailing Dynamite’s opener of Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega wrestling to a time limit draw as an instant classic.
