Full details for AEW Grand Slam Australia 2026, additional event revealed
Days after teasing an announcement was impending, the kangaroo is out of the pouch with regard to details for AEW’s return to Australia.
Revealed during a news segment on Nine News Queensland Sunday, AEW Grand Slam will be held at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday, February 14th followed by an AEW House Rules live event on Sunday, February 15th at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, site of last year’s Grand Slam.
The Qudos Bank Arena is the country’s largest venue with a listed capacity of 21,000. A waitlist is going for both events with tickets reportedly going on sale September 1st.
AEW debuted in Australia for one show this past February at the aforementioned BEC. At the time, it was AEW’s third-largest gate in company history at more than $1.3 million with an estimated 11,000-12,000 in attendance.
That event was aired on tape delay in the Saturday Collision spot in a two-hour special. Matches for Ring of Honor vs. CMLL Global Wars were also taped for a special edition of ROH on HonorClub the next week.
It appears likely a formal announcement from AEW will come during Sunday’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view from London.
