A tribute to Antonio Inoki has been announced for the anniversary of his passing. 

Tony Khan revealed during the All In media scrum that AEW will hold a pay-per-view on Sunday, October 1 in Seattle titled WrestleDream. The date falls on the one-year anniversary of Inoki’s passing. 

“I can announce here for the first time that on October 1 at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, it will be the first-ever WrestleDream,” Khan said. “WrestleDream, one-year anniversary of the passing of wrestling’s greatest dreamer. I thought it would be very fitting and after All Out, you won’t have to wait for Full Gear in November.”

Khan told our own Dave Meltzer that he hopes for NJPW wrestlers to take part in the show. 

“I’m hopeful, I’ve talked to them about it. I think they want to participate in the show and send people and they are very supportive of it and that I want to do something for him,” he said. 

Khan also confirmed that AEW Full Gear will take place on Saturday, November 18 from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. It will be the promotion’s third time in the venue and the first on pay-per-view.
