Why WWE Will Use Wembley Stadium In 2020

All Elite Wrestling, the scourge of panicked WWE fans and toast of many craving an alternative are not going to sell out Wembley Stadium any time soon, but were able to massage their ALL OUT ticket figures to shrewdly imply that they could have.

The Chicago supercard sold itself all the way the f*ck out in 15 minutes, but Dave Meltzer and others reported the astonishing numbers of those that weren't fortunate enough to get a ticket. Screenshots and stories proved it too - there were thousands of people giving it a bash. Tens of thousands that theoretically might have still given it a bash in a bigger venue. Hundreds of thousands that queued online considering it.

Meltzer reported a figure of 130,000 speculative punters noting - with some absurdity he must have been aware of as he typed - that it would have been bigger than any show in history had everybody got their tickets. The Wrestling Observer scribe knows better than most that the All Elite guys haven't yet gone big for this very reason - the hype is becoming as valuable as the gate. WWE's tepid Stomping Ground sales were "revealed" by a "random" "fan" just days before ALL OUT's certain sell-out too - it was delicious narrative for those picking sides.

But is it powerful enough to cut through the walls in Stamford? Triple H sold the f*ck out of the group at this year's Hall Of Fame, Sami Zayn was scripted to spit their initials out on Raw and Nigel McGuinness dragged NXT into it by dragging them at the start of TakeOver: XXV. Outside of petty wrestling squabbles, AEW have all-but promised to host a major show in the UK and are also dropping nuggets about potential stadium shows. If they get to Wembley before Vince McMahon, it's a far worse look than 'The King Of Kings' calling them p*ssants.
