With AEW All In 2024 barely a month away, could AEW already be lining up another major stadium show? Maybe.

As per Fightful Select, AEW is planning to bring a "major-scale event" to the Dallas, Arlington, and Fort Worth area in 2025. While nobody within AEW has confirmed this to Fightful, the outlet has reached out to various sources with knowledge of the situation who have teased that this could be a stadium show on par with "AEW's biggest event".

Of course, AEW - and Ring of Honor, for that matter - will start a four-week residency in Arlington, Texas this coming Saturday. And according to this latest report, Tony Khan and his team will be returning to the area in a significant way at some point next year. In terms of when we'll have more specifics on all of this, Fighftul has been told that officials in the area could make an announcement about the event before the end of 2024.

As for being on a par with AEW's biggest event, the promotion's biggest show so far in terms of sheer numbers is last year's All In, which had an announced attendance of 81,035, although some reports suggest the actual turnstile attendance as 72,265. Either way, it was a massive event for the company and brought a huge number of people to Wembley Stadium.
