Right off the back of a very successful PPV for AEW, Tony Khan already has his eyes set on an event 4 months from now.
AEW Grand Slam was a massive success in 2021 as crowd were just being allowed back into sporting events following the Covid-19 pandemic. Tony has been more than transparent about wanting to return to Arthur Ashe Stadium in the future.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that AEW will return to the Arthur Ashe Stadium in mid-September.
“Grand Slam, which he [Khan] has talked about, they’re going to do it. He wants Grand Slam to be an annual tradition as the biggest TV of the year. He did not say this, but we in fact know, it will be mid-September on a Wednesday night in Arthur Ashe stadium, they’ve got it booked.”
