Canadian location reportedly favorite for new AEW pay-per-view
AEW appears to have a location picked for their rumored new pay-per-view called Redemption.
Fightful Select reported Wednesday that Montreal, Quebec, Canada, will play host to the event that will likely be set for July — a month in which AEW currently doesn’t have a PPV on the books.
While the outlet didn’t report the Bell Centre as the venue, that would likely be the target given it’s a PPV and weekend availability in July. Either Saturday, July 18 or Sunday, July 19 would appear to be the date as AEW is running in Boston, MA, the prior week on both Wednesday and Thursday. The two cities are 250 miles apart.
News first broke about the new PPV two weeks ago from Wrestling Observer Live Sunday host Andrew Zarian.
When announced, Redemption would bring AEW to ten yearly PPVs for the first time in their history.
They started out with three in 2019, four in both 2020 and 2021, five in 2022, eight in 2023, and nine in both 2024 and 2025. With the exception of 2020’s Revolution, they have always skipped both January and February.
