AEW are returning to Wembley Stadium in London, England next month for their second major All In event in a row, and the continued success of this show and strong ticket sales of reportedly over 42,000 have sparked discussions of AEW potentially running a stadium show in the United States.

Tony Khan was asked about this prospect in the post-show press conference following ROH Death Before Dishonor 2024, and he said that it shouldn’t be ruled out based off AEW’s history.

It’s speculative to talk about. Certainly, nobody ever thought we would sell over 81,000 tickets at Wembley Stadium. Time after time, whether it was the very first AEW show where we did the fastest sell-out in the history of Las Vegas for pro wrestling, that’s something we had never done. I would say never count out AEW in any aspect of the pro wrestling business. We have amazed people from our very first show until right now. It’s amazing what AEW has done in five years. The leaps and bounds AEW has grown is really an amazing thing we’ve done. As far as AEW, we’ve never tried to do a stadium show in America. I do think you can never count AEW out. We’re building right now from the ground up.”

Khan was also asked about potentially bringing ROH under the AEW banner, and you can read about his answer here.
