Y’all In?
AEW has made a groundbreaking announcement on Thursday, revealing that its highly-anticipated event, All In Texas, is set to take place at Globe Life Field on July 12, 2025. This marks a significant milestone for AEW, as All In Texas will be the first-ever pay-per-view event in the history of the promotion to be held in Texas and its inaugural stadium show in the United States. The momentous announcement was made at Globe Life Field in the presence of AEW officials, local politicians, and a sense of excitement that reverberated throughout the wrestling community.
Adrienne Palmer, known in the ring as Athena, the talented AEW wrestler and current ROH Women’s World Champion hailing from Garland and currently residing in Arlington, expressed her elation for the opportunity to perform at her first stadium show in her home state. Reflecting on her journey, Palmer shared her enthusiasm, stating, “It’s really cool because I never got to work a big show in WWE, especially not in my hometown. This is amazing, an opportunity that I feel like I’ve been dying for and I’m just kind of buzzing about the opportunity, buzzing about the prospect.” She further emphasized the significance of being able to showcase her skills in front of her hometown crowd, family, and friends who have supported her throughout her wrestling career.
While All In Texas will mark AEW’s inaugural stadium show in the United States, previous iterations of All-In were held at Wembley Stadium in London. For Palmer, a wrestler who began her career in Arlington and has now come full circle to compete in her hometown, the event holds special significance. She remarked, “From the moment I took my first fall into pro wrestling, first started wrestling in Arlington down in a building called PCW, working my way all the way up and now I’m coming back home and wrestling on a big stage, it’s phenomenal.”
Palmer also highlighted why Texas was chosen as the host for AEW’s monumental U.S. event, attributing it to the state’s status as an entertainment and sports capital. She expressed her excitement about the vibrant culture, energy, and hospitality of Texas, underscoring the special allure of the state for AEW’s grand showcase.
AEW, founded by Tony and Shahid Khan in 2019 as a fresh alternative to the dominant WWE landscape, continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences with its innovative approach to professional wrestling. Tony Khan, speaking on behalf of AEW, expressed his enthusiasm for bringing AEW: All In Texas to Globe Life Field, stating, “AEW: All in Texas will make history as both our first-ever pay-per-view in Texas as well as AEW’s American stadium debut, building on the rich legacy of stadium wrestling events held in the US, particularly in the Lone Star State.”
The event garnered support from Arlington Mayor Jim Ross, who highlighted the economic impact and excitement that AEW: All In Texas will bring to the region. As plans unfold for a series of events leading up to the pay-per-view extravaganza, AEW fans and wrestling enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating the historic moment when All In Texas comes to life at Globe Life Field in 2025.
