Since it’s inception in 2019, All Elite Wrestling has blown up in terms of scale and popularity. It’s the first company to genuinely rival WWE in terms of attendance, PPV buys and TV ratings in the United States – and are growing their fanbase by the day. AEW has a global fanbase, despite only running shows in the United States up to this point. However legendary commentator Jim Ross knows that a trip to the United Kingdom is in the works for AEW.
AEW Will Be Coming To The United Kingdom Within The Next Year
On the latest episode of the Grilling JR podcast – Jim Ross would have a chance to discuss to the AEW All-Atlantic Championship, and how PAC’s recent defence in the UK is a sign of things to come. Ross would be quoted saying the following.
“I didn’t understand creating the All-Atlantic Title, but it doesn’t matter what I understand. I’m not against it, but did we need it? I don’t know that we needed it, but I also don’t know how big of an asset it’s going to be internationally for us.
I know that we’re going to go to places, like PAC is defending that title now in the UK I get it all the time. When are you guys coming to England? When are you going to do a pay-per-view? When are you going to do this? Well, when we come to England, you can bet your ass it’s going to be big. Tony’s got great business contacts there.
But the key thing is AEW is definitely coming to the UK and it will be in the next calendar year. I know that for a fact. I don’t know the dates, but we’re all excited about that because we get great television ratings in the UK. So why not play off that?”
With travel restrictions from COVID-19 being eased up by the day, it’s going to be easier for AEW to properly run shows all over the world. The UK & Canada are high on the list for AEW, and Japan is also likely coming sooner rather than later – given links to NJPW & TJPW.
