On August 27, AEW is scheduled to host their grandest event to date, All In, at Wembley Stadium. With a seating capacity of approximately 90,000, it remains to be seen how many seats will be made available following the event configuration, but AEW has set its sights on smashing attendance records.

Interestingly, this will be the first wrestling event at the modern Wembley Stadium. Back in 1992, WWE managed to attract a crowd of 80,355 for SummerSlam at the old Wembley Stadium. FTR recently expressed their aspirations of headlining a dream match that would attract a massive audience and propel AEW to new heights, as revealed during an interview with Raj Prashad from Uproxx.



“CM Punk and FTR versus the Elite,” Dax Harwood said. “That’s gotta be it, right? If you want to sell 50,000 tickets and take this company to the next level, that’s it, that’s me dreaming. That’s the dream match. That six-man tag in Wembley Stadium could help launch AEW to the next level.”

Since his victory over Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title at AEW All Out 2022, Punk has been absent from AEW Television due to an injury. However, he made headlines for airing his grievances with The Elite (comprised of Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks), Hangman Page, and Colt Cabana during the post-show press conference. Punk's remarks triggered an altercation involving himself, Ace Steel, and The Elite, resulting in the suspension of both Punk and The Elite, while Steel was terminated from the promotion.

Wheeler continued, “Wembley Stadium is huge for AEW. AEW has to be ambitious right now. We’ve done so much as a company over the past three years that everybody said we couldn’t do. When Tony said we’re going to sell 20,000 (tickets at Arthur Ashe Stadium), that seemed ridiculous to people at the time. Everybody wants to keep moving the goalposts. Everybody wants to keep saying you can’t do this. I love that we’re going to Wembley because even if it’s not completely to the brim full, 50-, 60-, 70,000, whatever it ends up being, that’s huge for this company. As a company that’s only a couple years into its existence. You can’t play it safe all the time. The roster right now is so deep, why not go for it?”
