Tony Khan, owner of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), has declared London as his favorite city worldwide to host wrestling events, emphasizing its special significance as AEW prepares to return for the highly anticipated All In pay-per-view. After a brief absence following the 2025 event, AEW will bring All In back to London later this year, choosing Wembley Stadium for the occasion.
In a recent interview with talkSPORT, Khan expressed enthusiasm for the return, recalling the remarkable attendance and memorable moments that London, particularly Wembley, has provided for AEW and his other sports ventures. Through his remarks, Khan made clear that London holds a unique place in his heart owing to its energetic fanbase and the venue’s impact on his professional life.
Memorable Achievements at Wembley Stadium
Khan reminisced about AEW’s previous record-breaking event at Wembley, where over 81,000 tickets were sold, setting a world record for the highest attendance at a wrestling event. The upcoming show is scheduled for August’s Bank Holiday weekend, promising a spectacular experience for fans and wrestlers alike. Khan underscored how London has been central to some of his most cherished memories across sports, including his ownership roles with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham Football Club.
I can’t wait for AEW to return in August to Wembley Stadium. There’s more announcements to come. I can’t wait to talk about when we’ll put the tickets on sale, all the events. I can’t wait to return for AEW all in London. It’s my favorite place in the world to have a wrestling event. I’ve had so many of my greatest memories in my life, whether it’s Jacksonville Jaguars, Fulham Football Club, or All Elite Wrestling. We’ve had some incredible days and nights at Wembley Stadium, and I can’t wait to return this August for AEW All In London, where All Elite Wrestling set the world record for the most tickets ever sold for any wrestling event. We sold over 81,000 tickets for AEW All In London, and we’re going to be back this August for the Bank Holiday weekend. It’s going to be incredible.
