AEW All In (2023)

The 2023 All In, also known as All in London at Wembley Stadium, is the upcoming second All In professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event. It will be the first edition of the event to be produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) after the inaugural All In was held independently in September 2018, a few months prior to AEW's formation in January 2019. The event will take place on 27 August 2023, at Wembley Stadium in London, England. This will mark AEW's debut in the United Kingdom, their first PPV event held outside of North America, and the company's first event to be held entirely in a football stadium. This also marks the first professional wrestling event to be held at present day Wembley Stadium, with AEW promoting the event as the first in over 30 years at the venue, after WWE's SummerSlam in 1992, which was held at the original Wembley Stadium.

The inaugural All In was an independently produced pay-per-view (PPV) promoted by members of The Elite and held in September 2018.[1] The success of the show would lead to the formation of the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) a few months later in January 2019.[2] The event was notable for being the first non-WWE or World Championship Wrestling promoted professional wrestling event in the United States to sell 10,000 tickets since 1993.[1]

On 5 April 2023, episode of Dynamite, AEW announced that they would revive the All in name for a PPV to be held at Wembley Stadium in London, England on 27 August 2023, titled "All In London at Wembley Stadium".[3] Tickets will go on sale on 5 May 2023. The event will mark AEW's debut in the United Kingdom (UK) and will be the promotion's first PPV to be held outside of North America.[4] AEW had originally planned to host the 2020 Fyter Fest as a PPV in London at nearby Wembley Arena, which would have been the promotion's UK debut, but the COVID-19 pandemic scrapped those plans.[5] This also marks the first professional wrestling event to be held at present day Wembley Stadium, with AEW promoting the event as the first in over 30 years at the venue, after WWE's SummerSlam in 1992, which was held at the original Wembley Stadium. This will also be AEW's first proper event to be held entirely in a football stadium.[6]

Storylines

All in London at Wembley Stadium will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[7] Storylines are produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Wednesday Night Dynamite and Friday Night Rampage, as well as the supplementary online streaming shows, Dark and Elevation.
