TORONTO–Coming out of the COVID\u002D19 lockdowns, Tony Khan had a plan for his All Elite Wrestling promotion: first Canada, then the world.
In this case, the PPV was a joint venture between AEW and Tokyo-based New Japan Pro Wrestling. It was the third-highest grossing wrestling event in Canadian history, second only to WrestleMania 6 and WrestleMania 18 also in Toronto in what was then called the SkyDome.
Khan said that his roster of Canadian wrestlers like Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, and Christian Cage make it easy to book the events but also that many of his staff behind the scenes are also based in Canada. There are two significant dates left on AEW’s international tour. Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome will host Collision–a new Saturday night show that Khan quipped was named after the tech conference _ on July 15 and then the All-In PPV event at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on Aug. 27.
