Hold onto your koalas, folks, because AEW is about to take its wrestling circus to the land of Vegemite and didgeridoos! That’s right, the rumor mill is churning out some juicy gossip about AEW’s plans to go international once again in 2025, and this time, they’re heading down under. Forget about shrimps on the barbie—this is going to be more like body slams in the outback!
Earlier reports hinted that AEW was eyeing Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, for a massive stadium show next year. But why stop at just one stadium when you can hit up a whole other continent? According to The Sporting News, AEW is already deep in talks (and probably some Vegemite negotiations) to bring a major wrestling event to Australia in 2025. And if you’re wondering if this is just a kangaroo chase, think again—these plans are reportedly “well advanced.”
Now, you might be asking, “Where exactly in Australia will AEW plant its flag?” Great question! Three epic venues are on the table: Allianz Stadium in Sydney, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, and the mighty Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. Marvel Stadium, by the way, isn’t just named after superheroes; it’s got some serious wrestling cred too. This is the same arena where UFC broke attendance records, and where WWE’s Global Warning event made waves back in 2002. So yeah, it’s kind of a big deal.
If AEW pulls this off, 2025 could be a banner year for the company with not just one, but multiple international stadium shows. We’re talking about the potential Arlington extravaganza, a debut in Japan at the Tokyo Dome for Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, and now this Australian adventure. It seems AEW is taking the success of their record-breaking All In London show in 2023 and turning the dial up to 11.
So, will AEW be wrestling in front of a crowd of kangaroos and wallabies? Probably not. But get ready, Australia—the wrestling world might just be coming to your doorstep, and it’s going to be a show that’ll make the Sydney Opera House look like an intermission. Stay tuned, mates!
