AEW’s first trip to the United Kingdom is shaping up to be a night for the record books.
On August 27th, AEW will host an event in the UK for the first time, and the promotion is doing it in style. All In will see the company head to Wembley Stadium for the first professional wrestling event at the famous venue since SummerSlam in 1992.
The announcement of the event was met with skepticism by some and wild confidence by others, but ticket sales have now far exceeded what many predicted.
As reported by Wrestle Tix, the event has sold just short of 75,000 tickets with more now available.
No matches have been announced for the event, but it’s been confirmed that AEW will be returning to Chicago a week later for All Out.

Will Ospreay Vs. Kenny Omega III To Headline AEW All In?
At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega met for the second time in 2023, after the AEW star defeated Ospreay to win the IWGP United States Title at Wrestle Kingdom.
At the huge cross-promotional event, Omega and Ospreay pushed each other beyond their respective limits in what many deemed to be an instant classic. The titanic clash ended with Ospreay scoring the win and avenging his defeat from earlier in the year.
Unsurprisingly, this led to calls for a third and deciding match between the pair, potentially at All In. However, speaking after the event, Ospreay hinted that it might be time to put his rivalry with Omega on the back burner for a little while, while he pursues new challenges.
