MJF Explains Importance Of AEW Drawing Big At Wembley For Third Time

AEW All In: London’s success isn’t lost on MJF.

For the third time in four years, All Elite Wrestling will host its biggest event, All In, at Wembley Stadium. The first event was considered a monumental success after drawing 81,000 fans from around the world, while the second brought another 53,000 to the stadium. While the final attendance figure for this year’s event has yet to be confirmed, it is expected to surpass 45,000, still representing a significant crowd.

During a chat with US Weekly, MJF explained why the size of the Wembley crowd holds particular significance.

“The simple fact that we’re about to run the exact same venue three times within the span of four years and we’re about to have close to, if not more, than the exact same amount [of fans] that we had as the second time we ran it, I think is very telling to the amount of fans that we have around the world. I think what we’ve accomplished here is borderline impossible. When you think about that we’re running the same venue in this short a span of time and the fact that we’ve gotten this many people in the building is a genuine accomplishment. We’re where you get to feel the most watching pro wrestling. You watch other products, they can be good. But are you walking away saying, ‘Holy s***, my brain just exploded’? I think that’s what we’re kings of. That’s what we do. I think that’s why in 2026, the pendulum has swung to the degree that it’s swung in the fans’ eyes, in the real wrestling fans’ eyes.”

AEW has continued to maintain a strong following among its more dedicated fanbase, with much of the sentiment from hardcore wrestling fans remaining positive compared to the competition. The attendance for this year’s Wembley event is also expected to place it among the most-attended wrestling shows of the year.

All In: London takes place later today, August 30, at Wembley Stadium, with the show headlined by Kenny Omega defending the AEW World Championship against the UK’s own Will Ospreay.

For MJF, the Casino Gauntlet awaits at Wembley Stadium, with the former three-time AEW World Champion vying for an opportunity to challenge for the title once again.
