AEW is making its debut in the United Kingdom when they bring its All In show to Wembley Stadium on August 27. Another positive indication of how the show will do has come out thanks to a crazy pre-sale.
The event announcement was made just last week, and there were 25,000 fans that had signed up for the pre-sale on the first day of it being made available. The venue holds up to 90,000 fans.
Some doubted AEW President Tony Khan for trying to run the stadium, as that would be a hard task for even WWE. AEW does have a stronger presence in the UK than WWE as its television ratings are higher than their competitor.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that there are now 45,000 pre-sale signups.
Meltzer wrote, “Based on the number of people who have signed up for a code to purchase tickets for the presale on 5/2, eight days after the announcement of the show, which broke 45,000 on 4/13, there is a lot of confidence that the show will be a success.”
AEW has yet to confirm whether the event will air on pay-per-view, but all signs are pointing towards that or a television special, at the least despite it taking place a week before All Out.
