AEW is gearing up for one of its biggest events in company history. With another history-making happening on the horizon, Tony Khan was poised to book another massive debut for his young promotion, but things have unfortunately taken a different direction. All Elite Wrestling seemingly confirmed this latest mishap.

All Elite Wrestling will debut in Australia on February 15 at Brisbane Entertainment Centre. The show will feature Grand Slam: Australia, which has been changed from a pay-per-view to a stand-alone TV special in place of the weekly Collision episode that night. Due to reported low ticket sales, Grand Slam was moved from the 52,500-seat Suncorp Stadium to the current venue, which is much smaller at 13,600 seats.

Grand Slam: Australia continues to suffer apparent setbacks. Khan's company issued an alert to its AEW Insider members this past weekend, informing them of a two-for-one ticket special. Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio noted that this latest ticket offer indicates Khan still needs to move many seats for its Australian debut.

Grand Slam: Australia will air on a 21-hour delay in the United States, as TNT and MAX will stream the special on Saturday night after NBA All-Star Weekend coverage.

"Special offer for you: Take advantage of a special 2 FOR 1 ticket price on select seats for being an AEW Insider! No code necessary, click the link below. Limited seats available. Get your tickets today, while supplies last!" reads the announcement.
