AEW makes Grand Slam official for September
AEW Grand Slam will officially return to Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, on Wednesday, September 20th.
The company briefly alluded to it on Wednesday’s Dynamite and released the details with a tweet later on. The news was first broken by our Andrew Zarian earlier today.
As has been the case in the past, the show will feature a live Dynamite followed by a Rampage taping. In the initial tweet AEW sent, they announced tickets will go on sale Saturday, July 22nd but the graphic stated Friday, July 28th which is in line with what their tickets page states.
It will be the third-such edition of Grand Slam — the first pro wrestling event to take place in the historic venue. The first one in 2021 marked AEW’s first-ever stadium show, drawing over 20,000 fans for a $960,000 gate. Last year’s event surpassed the $1 million gate number with just under 14,000 in attendance.
