All Elite Wrestling will be kicking off the new year with a return to North Texas. For the first time since AEW put more than 25,000 people inside Globe Life Field for “AEW All In: Texas“ over the summer, Esports Stadium Arlington is set to host a new residency of AEW shows in January. The promotion informed The Dallas Morning News that four of the month’s five Saturdays will feature an episode of “AEW Collision” on January 3, 10, 24, and 31.
AEW CEO and general manager Tony Khan spoke about the company’s return to the Dallas area. “I wish we’d been back even sooner,” Khan said. “I love being around Dallas. To do these shows and have ‘Collision’ events back at the Esports Stadium again, it’s fantastic for us. That’s always a great place for AEW, and in particular, we’ve had some of our best events there. I can’t wait to go back.”
The run of shows in January will be the company’s third stop at the esports venue since 2024. It most recently played host to “Supercard of Honor” on July 11, the night before “AEW All In: Texas”. That event featured some of the most critically acclaimed matches of AEW’s entire week in North Texas.
“It feels like it was just yesterday, but it’s really been a long time,” Khan said. Khan specifically recalled the main event from that “Supercard of Honor” show. “The main event is still a match people talk about to this day with Bandido and (Konosuke) Takeshita. … Certainly the Metroplex, the fans deliver over and over. So, that’s why I’m really glad to bring AEW back. We’re going to have a bunch of great shows”.
Tickets for all four episodes of “AEW Collision” at Esports Stadium Arlington go on-sale next Monday, November 24, at AEWTIX.com.
