Tony Khan makes a huge announcement after AEW All In 2025's venue gets confirmed

AEW is already stacking the deck for 2025. The company announced today that next year's All In event will be held in Arlington, TX, marking All Elite Wrestling's first stadium pay-per-view in the United States. Immediately following that, Tony Khan announced that his company's flagship event would return to London in 2026.

A major factor in All Elite Wrestling's early success can be traced back to All In, the 2018 independent pay-per-view that rocked the wrestling world. That event, which was produced by Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks, provided the proof of concept that AEW needed to get off the ground just a few months later.

Unfortunately, Tony Khan wasn't able to use the All In trademark in AEW's early days because it was owned by Ring of Honor, which had helped The Elite produce the initial pay-per-view. After Khan bought ROH, he revived the brand and presented All In at Wembley Stadium in 2023.

That tradition continues this year, as AEW is getting set for All In 2024 at Wembley. The company is shaking things up in 2025, bringing the flagship pay-per-view to Globe Life Stadium in Arlington, TX. But Tony Khan made sure to mention that after that, the show will head back to Wembley for the 2026 edition.

It's unclear whether Tony Khan plans to alternate between venues and locations for the event from year to year, but it seems that All In will have a semi-permanent home in London in the future.

Dave Meltzer is skeptical of AEW running a stadium show in Australia

Recent reports have indicated that All Elite Wrestling is planning to host a show in Australia next year, and it seems that a stadium in the east could be the venue.

AEW is popular internationally—in some ways more so than in the United States. But while WWE found success in The Land Down Under this year with its Elimination Chamber premium live event, not everyone is optimistic about All Elite Wrestling running a big event there.

Dave Meltzer recently addressed the subject on Wrestling Observer Radio, casting doubt about the success Tony Khan's company can find in Australia:

"The idea of going to a stadium (...) Man, they don’t have the viewership, they don’t have the popularity they do in the UK. It’s not even close. Maybe they’ll pull it off. I mean WWE pulled off three stadium shows, they were all successful. UFC pulled off stadium shows there. I don’t know, I’m skeptical of it."

The Jacksonville-based promotion has usually been successful when making gambles. In fact, that's what made All In such a success in 2018. Whether they can pull off another victory in Australia next year remains to be seen.
