WrestleDream History

AEW and NJPW began a partnership in 2021 where wrestlers from the two promotions regularly showed up at the other company. Their partnership further expanded in June 2022 when they organized the AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door event. On October 1, 2022, NJPW’s founder and pro-wrestling legend, Antonio Inoki passed away.

He was an inspiration to many, including AEW’s co-founder and CEO Tony Khan. At AEW All In media scrub in August 2023, Khan announced that the company will be organizing a PPV named AEW WrestleDream on October 1, 2023, the one-year anniversary of Inoki’s passing. The event is named WrestleDream because Khan considered Inoki as “wrestling’s greatest dreamer”. The event was renewed in 2024 and confirmed to be an annual affair.
