The inaugural
All In was a professional wrestling
PPV event that was
independently produced by members of a wrestling stable called
The Elite—specifically
Cody Rhodes and
The Young Bucks (
Matt Jackson and
Nick Jackson)—in association with the American
promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). It was held on September 1, 2018, at the
Sears Centre Arena in the
Chicago suburb of
Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The event was notable for being the first non-
WWE or
World Championship Wrestling (WCW) promoted professional wrestling event in the United States to sell 10,000 tickets since 1993. The success of All In would lead to the formation of
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) a few months later in January 2019, with The Elite (including
Kenny Omega) becoming executive vice presidents of the new company with
Tony Khan as its owner and president. On the first anniversary of All In, AEW established a
spiritual successor titled
All Out. At the time, Khan wanted to use the All In name for AEW, but he created All Out to avoid a lawsuit with ROH, which owned the rights to All In. Khan would subsequently purchase ROH in March 2022, in turn obtaining the rights to All In. is AEW's highest attended event to date with a reported attendance of 72,265 people. On the April 5, 2023, episode of AEW's flagship weekly television program
Dynamite, AEW announced that they would revive the All In name for a PPV event to be held at
Wembley Stadium in
London, England during the United Kingdom's
August Bank Holiday weekend on August 27, titled "
All In London at Wembley Stadium". The event marked AEW's debut in the United Kingdom and was the promotion's first PPV to be held outside of North America. "All In London" would proceed to sell 60,000 tickets within the first three days (including pre-sale). It would go on to log a paid attendance of 72,265, the largest in company history. After the main event, which saw
MJF defend the
AEW World Championship against
Adam Cole, it was announced that All In would return to Wembley on August 25, 2024, again during the August Bank Holiday weekend. The
2024 event would have an attendance of 46,476, the second biggest in company history behind the 2023 event. On August 15, 2024, it was announced that the
2025 event would be held on Saturday, July 12 at
Globe Life Field in
Arlington, Texas, marking AEW's first PPV event to be held in a
baseball stadium and in the
U.S. state of
Texas. This was also the first professional wrestling event held at Globe Life Field. Khan said that they were not at Wembley Stadium for 2025 as the band
Coldplay had the venue booked for a tour that ran through the August Bank Holiday weekend. The 2025 event would have an attendance of over 27,000, making it their largest event in North America and third largest overall in company history, behind the 2023 and 2024 editions of All In, respectively. In October 2024, Khan referred to All In as the company's biggest show of the year. This was a position previously held by
Double or Nothing, thus making All In one of AEW's "big five", along with Double or Nothing, All Out,
Full Gear, and
Revolution, the company's five biggest annual events. Along with the announcement of the 2025 event, it was also revealed that All In would return to Wembley Stadium in 2026. On July 17, 2025, the
2026 event's date was confirmed for August 30, returning AEW's All In to its traditional August Bank Holiday weekend scheduling. ==Events==
