AEW Grand Slam Dynamite & Rampage announced for September
After Tony Khan confirmed the show would return at some point this year, AEW officially announced their second-ever Grand Slam Dynamite & Rampage Sunday night.
Their return to Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, is set for Wednesday, September 21st for a live Dynamite with Rampage taped afterward.
Tickets go on sale Friday, July 22nd. Last year, more than 15,000 tickets were sold following the public on-sale with capacity then set for 17,000.
20,177 tickets were sold for last year’s debut Grand Slam on September 22nd, headlined by the first-ever meeting between then-AEW World Champion Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson. The match went to a 30-minute draw and is seen as one of the best matches in company history.
The number is their largest attendance to date and was the most for a non-WWE show in the U.S. since 1999. It was their first stadium show and also their debut in New York City.
History was made last year in NYC! Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, NY opens its gates once again for #AEWDynamite & #AEWRampage: #GrandSlam Wednesday September 21st for an experience of a lifetime!
