AEW announces earlier-than-expected return to United Kingdom

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Forbidden Door won’t be the last AEW show the United Kingdom hosts in 2025.

After Tony Khan teased that AEW could return earlier than expected, the promotion has confirmed that it will be back in the U.K. for two shows before the end of the year. An episode of AEW Collision will take place from Cardiff, Wales on Saturday, December 13. Dynamite will then be held in Manchester, England on Wednesday, December 17.

Utilita Arena is hosting the Collision event, while Co-op Live will be the venue for Dynamite.

A ticket pre-sale will begin on September 1 prior to tickets going on sale to the general public on September 5.

The U.K. has been kind to AEW with three of the promotion’s four biggest gates — including today’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view — taking place in London. AEW has taped TV in Cardiff before, but this will be the promotion’s Manchester debut.

These events are happening in advance of AEW Worlds End, which is set for Hoffman Estates, Illinois at the end of December. AEW’s Continental Classic tournament will likely be happening during this time.

AEW will also be back in the U.K. next summer with All In 2026 being held at Wembley Stadium on August 30.

Tony Khan: AEW still has ‘big plans’ for England in 2025

Though All In is heading to Texas in 2025, Tony Khan still has plans to bring AEW to England next year.

It was announced this week that All In 2025 will take place from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, July 12. AEW will then bring All In back to London in 2026.

Wembley Stadium hosted the inaugural All In and will also play host to the 2024 event later this month. Khan told The Dan Le Batard Show today that this is “definitely not” the last AEW show that will take place at Wembley Stadium.

“We love having AEW at Wembley Stadium, and we’re back in 2026 in England,” Khan said. “You can bet you’ll see us there in 2025 as well. It won’t be AEW All In, it’ll be something different, but we’ve got some big plans coming up next year as well.”

All In 2024 is being held on Sunday, August 25. Swerve Strickland vs. Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship is set to headline the pay-per-view. If Danielson does not win, he will retire from active competition.

Before All In, AEW will make its Wales debut next week. Dynamite and Collision will be taped at Utilita Arena Cardiff next Wednesday (August 21).
