's return to its home venue of
Daily's Place in
Jacksonville, Florida After the American
professional wrestling promotion
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was founded in January 2019, the company held its third-ever event,
Fight for the Fallen, on July 13 that year at
Daily's Place in
Jacksonville, Florida. Daily's Place is an open-air amphitheater located on the same complex as the
EverBank Stadium (formerly TIAA Bank Field; renamed in 2023), the home stadium of the
Jacksonville Jaguars, a
National Football League team that is also owned by AEW President and
Chief Executive Officer Tony Khan. As such, the stadium itself is AEW's
de facto headquarters, with Daily's Place becoming AEW's home base. On January 1, 2020, AEW held a
special episode of its weekly television program,
Wednesday Night Dynamite on
TNT, at Daily's Place titled
Homecoming, in reference to the venue. Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic that began effecting the industry in mid-March 2020, AEW held the majority of its programs from Daily's Place; these events were originally held without fans, but the company began running shows at 10–15% capacity in August, before eventually running full capacity shows in May 2021. Although held at Daily's Place, these shows were not "Homecoming" events due to the circumstances. In May, AEW announced that it would be returning to live touring, beginning with a special episode of
Dynamite titled
Road Rager on July 7. Road Rager was also the first of a four-week span of special
Dynamite episodes as part of AEW's "Welcome Back" tour, which continued with the two-part
Fyter Fest on July 14 and 21 and concluded with
Fight for the Fallen on July 28. In early July, AEW scheduled a
second Homecoming episode to be held after the conclusion of the "Welcome Back" tour, briefly returning AEW to Daily's Place on August 4. The event was promoted as the final event to be held at Daily's Place for Summer 2021. AEW would then return to Daily's Place in December that year, but that event was held as the
New Year's Smash special. Although AEW returned to Daily's Place in 2022 for episodes of
Dynamite and their secondary program,
Friday Night Rampage (which premiered on TNT on August 13, 2021), these were regular episodes that were not produced as Homecoming specials. AEW did not hold any shows at Daily's Place in 2023, but scheduled a return to the venue in January 2024. The company in turn revived the Homecoming special with the
third event held on January 10, 2024. Unlike the prior two events, the 2024 Homecoming expanded the show to a two-part special, with the first part airing
live as a special episode of
Dynamite on
TBS (the program moved from TNT to TBS in January 2022), with the second part taped the same night to air on
tape delay on January 12 as a
special episode of
Rampage on TNT. AEW returned to Daily's Place in late April 2024 for episodes of
Dynamite,
Rampage, and its third program,
Saturday Night Collision (which premiered on TNT in June 2023), but these were not held as Homecoming specials. The first
Collision to be a Homecoming special was the
January 2025 event, scheduled for January 25. This also reduced Homecoming back to a one-night event, following
Rampages cancellation at the end of December 2024. This was also the first Homecoming to be
simulcast on the streaming service
Max. A
second Homecoming for 2025 was scheduled as a two-part event in October, airing as the October 7 and October 11 episodes of
Dynamite and
Collision, respectively (
Collision was taped on October 8 to air on tape delay). The
Dynamite broadcast was also simultaneously the fourth annual
Title Tuesday special, another one of AEW's specials of
Dynamite that is themed around
championship matches and is held on one Tuesday in October due to a scheduling conflict with
Major League Baseball on
TNT Sports channels. The
Dynamite broadcast was in turn branded as Homecoming: Title Tuesday. == Events ==
