AEW will hold its biggest U.S. show ever on July 12 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, along with a string of other shows around DFW that week.
DALLAS — All In: Texas week is less than one week away, promising a whole host of shows around the metroplex for pro wrestling fans, and All Elite Wrestling President and CEO Tony Khan couldn’t be more excited.
“It’s gonna be a great, great time and it’s gonna be a really important week in pro wrestling,” Khan said. “AEW is having our best year ever, I really believe, and this is the biggest week of the year.”
This is AEW’s biggest show of the year, and arguably its biggest show ever, as it’s the first stadium show the relatively young wrestling promotion has ever held in the U.S., following two prior shows at Wembley Stadium in 2023 and 2024.
And there’s possible no better place for a show this big than DFW, an area rich in pro wrestling history that was once home to the famous Von Erich family and World Class Championship Wrestling, which would run packed pro wrestling shows every week at the Dallas Sportatorium and the Will Rogers Auditorium in Fort Worth throughout the ’80s.
“The city has been so great to us, and overall, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is one of the greatest wrestling territories really in the history of wrestling, it’s so iconic,” Khan said.
North Texas fans have been asking for a pay-per-view event for a long time, Khan said, and now AEW is giving them the biggest event possible.
Khan said he was never sure, when AEW started six years ago, whether running a stadium show was something they had to do.
“It’s something that I always felt like I would only want to do if the company had built to the point where it made sense,” he said. “At the beginning of AEW, that was what we were trying to accomplish was getting over 10,000 people to come to a wrestling show in an arena, and that was a really major event.”
