Tony Khan may have to suddenly change AEW All In 2025's venue due to one big reason, says WWE veteran
AEW is set to present its third annual All In pay-per-view in almost seven months. Tony Khan announced the big event with immense fanfare, and a big twist from previous All In shows. A wrestling legend is now raising potential All In concerns following the latest update on ticket sales.
All Elite Wrestling's All In: Texas is scheduled for July 12, 2025, from Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX. Khan announced the big event after London's Wembley Stadium hosted All In for two years. The home of MLB's Texas Rangers has a capacity of 40,300 and a record attendance of 43,598. Wembley has a capacity of 90,000, and a record of 98,128, while AEW drew just over 72,000 in 2023.
Khan recently announced that the company sold more than $1 million in tickets and pricey VIP packages for All In, with one report claiming more than $1.25 million following the first week. However, one rumor claims AEW only sold around 6,000 seats that week. Speaking on his Story Time podcast, the legendary Dutch Mantell mentioned Texas Stadium, the former home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, who several years ago moved to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, just right across from Globe Life Field.
Dirty Dutch wondered if there could be a venue change in AEW's future after his host mentioned WCCW crowds Fritz Von Erich drew to Texas Stadium. The former Zeb Colter of WWE then made an observation on current All Elite rivalries and feuds, and how this might impact things in a negative way:
"Well, we may see a venue change. Texas Stadium holds about 70,000. [host mentions Fritz Von Erich going from 40,000 to 8,000 at the venue] Yeah, well... it can happen. It can happen, and I haven't been watching AEW that frequently, but I don't think they got anything that could be a marquee match at this point, I really don't. Nothing jumps at me or anything," Dutch Mantell said. [From 1:11:39 to 1:12:24]
Khan's company will hold its final pay-per-view of the year on Saturday, December 28 at Addition Financial Arena in Orlando. This will be the second annual Worlds End event, featuring the finals of the Continental Classic II.
AEW updated PPV calendar for 2025
All Elite Wrestling is just days away from beginning its seventh year of operations. Unless another event is announced shortly, the company will begin its 2025 PPV run in Australia. Below is the updated PPV calendar for next year:
- February 15: Grand Slam: Australia; from Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Australia
- March 9: Revolution; from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA
- July 12: All In: Texas; from Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX
- August 24: AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door; from TBA
Officials have not confirmed the Forbidden Door venue as of this writing, but it likely will not be Wembley Stadium. However, the company will return to London in 2026 for All In, rumored to be at Wembley Stadium.
