Update On AEW's Use Of Pyro Being Limited For All In

AEW’s big stadium shows in both Wembley Stadium for All In 2023 & 2024, plus the visit to Globe Life Field for the 2025 All In, have all featured a liberal use of pyro and fireworks. The glitz and glamor of professional wrestling is heightened by explosions and color, and has been for decades, but AEW might be handcuffed ahead of AEW All In: London 2026. 

It was first noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter by Dave Meltzer that AEW may be forced into reducing the amount of pyro used on the show. This comes from the UK government issuing an emergency warning to the public to not use fireworks or anything else that can trigger wildfires due to the dry weather and heat. The warning came after The Weeknd’s big usage of large fireworks at Wembley Stadium last week, so AEW may have very unlucky timing. 

This story was followed up on and confirmed by Fightful Select, but it was noted that AEW are still expected to use some pyro rather than none at all. It was also noted that several special entrances are in the works for AEW All In: London 2026. Ahead of the show, it was revealed how long AEW had been planning the Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay main event.
