AEW’s Global Expansion: Ireland on the Horizon?

One big thing: AEW eyes Ireland for future events

AEW commentator Tony Schiavone hints at a “very good chance” of the company bringing live events to Ireland in the future.

Why it matters

• AEW’s potential expansion into Ireland signals the company’s growing international ambitions.
• This move could tap into a passionate wrestling fanbase and potentially rival WWE’s global reach.

By the numbers

• AEW will host its first UK “Dynamite” on August 21 in Cardiff, Wales.
• The company’s largest event to date, “All In,” is set for August 25 at Wembley Stadium.

The big picture

AEW’s global expansion plans are gaining momentum:

• Confirmed: Japanese debut at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, 2025, at the Tokyo Dome.
• In the works: Reports suggest a major event on Australia’s east coast in 2025.

What they’re saying

“Since we’re in England, and we’re going to be in Wales soon, I would say that in the future there will be a very good chance of that,” Schiavone said on his “What Happened When?” podcast regarding AEW’s potential Irish debut.

The bottom line

AEW’s international expansion strategy is rapidly evolving, with Ireland potentially joining the list of countries hosting live events. This global push could significantly impact the wrestling landscape and AEW’s position in the industry.
