Last year, 72,265 fans filed into London’s famed Wembley Stadium to witness All Elite Wrestling’s annual “All In” spectacular. This year, AEW’s “All In” event will be a lot closer to home for fans across North Texas—while attracting fans and pay-per-view viewers from around the world.
“On behalf of everyone at AEW, we’re ecstatic to bring ‘AEW: All In Texas’ to Globe Life Field in Arlington on July 12, 2025,” AEW Co-Founder and CEO Tony Khan announced today. “’AEW: All in Texas’ will make history as both our first-ever pay-per-view in Texas as well as AEW’s American stadium debut, building on the rich legacy of stadium wrestling events held in the US, particularly in the Lone Star State.”
The event was announced at a press conference Thursday at Globe Life Field—just a handful of homers away from AT&T Stadium, which hosted huge WWE “WrestleMania” events in 2016 and 2022. Arlington Mayor Jim Ross was on hand for today’s announcement along with representatives of the Texas Rangers, REV Entertainment, and the Arlington Sports Commission.

“AEW: All In Texas” will air live around the world on pay-per-view, and comes with multiple firsts. It will be AEW’s first-ever stadium event in America; the first time an AEW pay-per-view event has ever been held in Texas; and the first-ever professional wrestling event ever held at Globe Life Field.
“We’re thrilled for Arlington to partner with All Elite Wrestling for their biggest event of 2025,” Arlington Mayor Jim Ross said in a statement. “Fans from around the world will converge on our beautiful city to be part of ‘AEW: All In Texas,’ delivering a significant economic windfall to the region.”
Arlington Sports Commission Executive Director Matt Wilson said the event “marks a huge milestone in Arlington’s continued relationship with All Elite Wrestling.”
“We thank Tony Khan and the entire team at AEW for all of their support to our city and look forward to an event that fans in attendance and watching at home will never forget,” Wilson added.
A huge crowd seems inevitable for the closed-roof, air-conditioned climes of Globe Life Field next July. But while everything’s big in Texas, a world record isn’t in the cards. That belongs to the 1995 “Collision in Korea” supercard at Rungrado May Day Stadium in North Korea, which attracted 165,000 fans on its second night.
The most-attended wrestling event in U.S. history and the third overall? 2016’s WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium, which drew 101,763.

Sean Decker, president of REV Entertainment, the exclusive events partner of the Texas Rangers, called the 2025 “AEW: All in Texas” event “a historic moment” for Globe Life Field.
“We can’t wait to partner with AEW to host thousands of passionate wrestling fans at our world-class venue next summer,” he added.
Organizers said “a series of events in Arlington” are being planned leading up to the 2025 event, with details to be announced “in the near future.”
In the meantime, AEW’s colorful lineup of male and female wrestling stars are getting oiled up, muscled up, and fully ring-ready for “AEW: All In London”—which takes place on Sunday, August 25, in a return to Wembley Stadium in London.
Founded in 2019, the AEW is a professional wrestling promotion with a “world-class roster” that has aimed to inject “new spirit, freshness and energy into the industry.” Its “AEW: Dynamite” TV programming airs every Wednesday from 8-10 p.m. ET on TBS; “AEW: Rampage” airs every Friday from 10-11 p.m. ET on TNT; and “AEW: Collision” airs every Saturday from 8-10 p.m. ET on TNT. AEW also produces “AEW Unrestricted,” a weekly podcast series.
