On Wednesday’s Dynamite, Tony Khan announced that AEW will be making their debut in the United Kingdom come August 27. The announcement including them stating their intentions of running Wembley Stadium, a move which raised eyebrows given that London’s showpiece stadium holds a capacity of 90,000. Interestingly, the last wrestling show to take place there was SummerSlam in 1992 which surpasses 80,000 in attendance.
Yet, the show created a lot of buzz among the UK wrestling audience. AEW routinely gets more viewers in the country than WWE which indicates that there is a big interest for a huge show in the United Kingdom.
Now, the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer has spelled out the initial interest in AEW’s All In show, stating that the pre-sale registration generated 25,000 sign-ups.
“Tickets go on sale to the public on 5/5, but they are doing a pre-register for early access with a code, and there will be a pre-sale on 5/2. That will largely give a strong clue as to how successful the show will end up being. There were reports of 25,000 sign-ups the first day.”
