AEW-ALL-IN-LONDON

All Elite Wrestling is taking over the United Kingdom. Tony Khan’s young company is set to hold its biggest show yet when it ventures across the pond to Wembley Stadium later this month for AEW ALL IN: London. This show represents a resurrection of the independent event that inspired the launch of AEW in the first place, as 2018’s ALL IN was one of a couple of key pieces that eventually assembled the AEW puzzle. That indie spirit is prevalent throughout AEW ALL IN: London, but another key theme is celebrating British wrestling. Since the dawn of the sport, wrestling has been immensely popular in the UK, with the country regularly producing some of the sport’s top talent.
