While speaking with News 12 Long Island to promote tonight’s episode of Dynamite, AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that AEW Grand Slam will be returning to Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City.
Khan didn’t provide a date, but last year’s show took place in September and featured a 30-minute time limit draw between Bryan Danielson and then-World Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega.
“Yes, I expect we’ll be back to have Grand Slam – AEW Grand Slam, Dynamite, and Rampage back in Queens at Arthur Ashe Stadium again. It was a huge success for everyone involved and it’s all thanks to this great partnership with the USTA.
It was almost the first million-dollar gate in AEW history, just came shy of that but it was really close. Of course, we set that record now for AEW Double or Nothing in Las Vegas, it became our first million-dollar gate for the live tickets and now, we just hit it again with our partnership with New Japan Pro Wrestling for our Forbidden Door show at the United Center.”
