AEW’s Tony Khan announced on Sunday that All Elite Wrestling is adding a new pay-per-view to its schedule before the end of 2023. In honor of Antonio Inoki, who passed away on Oct. 1, 2022, AEW will host the first WrestleDream pay-per-view at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington. Khan said New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the promotion Inoki launched in 1972, is very supportive of the event and negotiations are ongoing about bringing in NJPW stars for the event, marking the second big crossover show between AEW and New Japan of the year following Forbidden Door back in June.ย

The name “Wrestle Dream” was previously used as a crossover event between the WWF and the defunct Japanese promotion SWS in April 1991. Khan said the name was chosen to honor one of the biggest “dreamers” in wrestling history.ย
