As we reported earlier today here on eWn, Cody Rhodes held a media call and commented on the possibility of AEW doing stadium shows in the future. According to Rhodes, no plans have been “formally discussed” but it’s a personal goal of his. You can check out some highlights from the media call below:
On the possibility of running stadium shows: “The idea of a stadium show, that would be a really good goal for me and I would hope would be a goal for AEW. To a degree, we’re doing it with Arthur Ashe, which is unreal. It’s such a great building, there’s not a bad seat in the house. We’re at the point now where we’re like, ‘Could we? What could we put on? What could we call it?’ It’s something, I can’t say it’s formally been discussed, but we’re all thinking it.”
On which stadiums he would like to run: “I know a few places that I thought would be great for a stadium show that haven’t been touched on. This is just me saying it; Miller Park is a unique venue that sits between a massive stadium show and an intimate vibe. That’s something I’m interested in, but I can’t speak for the whole company as far as where we’re looking and what we have laid out. It would be wonderful to do a stadium show, which we are doing with Arthur Ashe, but to do another large one. Those become destinations. All the independent shows that join up with it. The cons that come with it. It feels like a natural extension of the original All In, which was the Woodstock of wrestling, is a big stadium show. No plans currently, but it’s a personal goal for me.”
