Tony Khan confirms AEW WrestleDream will return in 2024

AEW WrestleDream will be returning in 2024.

During his post-show media scrum on Sunday night, Tony Khan was asked if WrestleDream is going to be an annual event and if the show will continue to be held in Seattle. Khan couldn’t confirm where it will be taking place next year, but he said WrestleDream will “definitely” be returning.

“I can’t speak a year ahead as to where the event will be, but there will definitely be a WrestleDream,” Khan said. “It was a very critically successful event. A lot of people are telling me it was the best show they’ve ever seen in wrestling, which means a lot to me. I think we’re on just an incredible run of pay-per-views.”

Khan said he thinks AEW is on a run of four straight PPVs that are all classics. With the addition of Collision, Khan thinks AEW is able to develop PPVs better with five hours of television instead of three.

“WrestleDream is here to stay,” Khan said. “As a pay-per-view, it did incredibly well. Looks like it’s up from All Out. WrestleDream over 100,000 buys I think is pretty safe to say based on digital projections. And that’s really exciting.”

WrestleDream was held in honor of the late Antonio Inoki. Sunday night’s PPV took place on the one-year anniversary of Inoki’s death.

Khan said AEW “lucked out” that the NHL’s Seattle Kraken didn’t have a preseason game and Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle was available for the inaugural WrestleDream.
