Chris Jericho says AEW All In will be a cultural event when it comes to London.
AEW All In was announced on last week’s Dynamite, with much discourse being had over the show, as the stadium will hold close to 100,000 fans if all tickets are sold for the event.
Speaking to Tim & Eli on Battleground, Chris Jericho weighed in on AEW heading to Wembley and his expectations for the event.
From a business standpoint, it was a great move and big time move for Tony Khan to book Wembley. There have been a couple of times over the years; first time in Toronto, ‘Should have booked a stadium.’ First time in Los Angeles, ‘Should have booked a stadium.’ This time, our first time in the UK, ‘Should’ve booked a stadium,’ we do, and of course, people are like, ‘You’re crazy. It’s too big.’ We could have done the O2, which is a great arena, we could have done Craven Cottage, which is the venue Tony owns, I believe, with Fulham. Going to Wembley is like, ‘Hold my beer, check this shit out.’ It’s going to be massive and has the potential to sell even more than what the pundits are expecting because I think it’s going to be a cultural event. The fact is, when something becomes cool, that’s when more people want to go. Not to mention the fact that we have a huge television presence and a huge fanbase in the UK. I’m not guaranteeing it or predicting it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we ended up with 60,000 to 70,000 people in that joint,”

It is set to be an interesting PPV to say the least, with many wrestlers stating their desire to appear on the show. While Jericho will likely be a guarantee for the show, we will have to wait and see who Tony Khan decides to to put up against The Ocho.
