AEW officially announces Grand Slam date & ticket presale info

During Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, AEW officially announced both the date and ticket presale info for September’s Grand Slam.

The show will once again emanate from Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, on Wednesday, September 25th. Per usual, they will air a live Dynamite and in a change, they will tape a two-hour Collision after the show as opposed to a two-hour Rampage.

The presale has kicked off already for fans in attendance at the UBS Arena on Long Island and will run through this Tuesday at midnight. The AEW website officially lists the pre-sale as starting on July 16th with a public on-sale date of July 18th.

This will be the fourth-such event at the famed tennis stadium: all in September.

The first one was held in 2021 with a featured bout between Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson in addition to CM Punk’s first televised match since his departure from WWE nearly a decade prior. The event drew over 20,000 fans.

The second show was held in 2022 and featured Danielson vs. Jon Moxley for the then-vacant AEW World title, drawing nearly 14,000 fans.

Last year’s Grand Slam brought in 11,000 fans for a show that featured MJF defending his then-World title against Samoa Joe and then-ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli defending his title against Eddie Kingston.
