Update on AEW Grand Slam Mexico 2026 plans
An update is available on AEW holding a second Grand Slam Mexico event.
The first AEW Grand Slam Mexico took place on June 18, 2025, from Arena Mexico in Mexico City.
AEW president Tony Khan said in an interview late last year that they would be returning to Arena Mexico for a second event in 2026, but he was not sure when it would take place.
In this week’s edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, our own Dave Meltzer reported that there are plans for Grand Slam Mexico in 2026, but they will happen later than June, when last year’s event was held.

CMLL is set to present its first full solo event outside of Mexico today in Las Vegas. They will present CMLL Slam Fest at 6 p.m. Eastern at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort.
The show originally featured a main event of Mistico vs. Hechicero. However, a late change was made to the lineup, and we’ll now see Mistico team with Templario against Hechicero and Angel de Oro. Claudio Castagnoli will also wrestle Atlantis Jr. on the show.
