AEW CEO Tony Khan has officially addressed swirling rumours about the company’s potential expansion into Australia, confirming that plans are indeed in motion for a significant event Down Under in 2025.
During a recent media call ahead of AEW All In 2024, Tony Khan shed light on the company’s international ambitions, stating:
We can confirm that we’re currently looking at various locations in Australia to run an event sometime next year in 2025 potentially. We’ll have more information about this in the near future. 2025 is going to be a milestone year.
This announcement comes on the heels of reports suggesting that AEW has been actively scouting Australian venues with the intention of hosting a stadium show in 2025. Khan’s comments not only validate these reports but also underscore AEW’s commitment to global expansion.
The potential Australian event is part of AEW’s broader strategy to establish a strong international presence. The company has already made significant strides in this direction, with its upcoming second annual All In event at London’s Wembley Stadium. The company recently announced that the 2025 All In event is slated for Texas.
Which Record Does Tony Khan Could Be Broken At All In 2025?
Tony Khan spoke about how he believes AEW All In could break the Globe Life Field attendance record in 2025. The current attendance record is 43,598 people for a Morgan Wallen concert and 42,472 and 42,500 fans for games 1 and 2 of the 2023 World Series respectively.
Also on the media call, Tony Khan explained why AEW Dynamite did not air live in the UK.
