Grand Slam is a
professional wrestling television special produced by the American promotion
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2021. From its inception until 2024, the event was held annually in late September at the
Arthur Ashe Stadium in the
New York City borough of
Queens. It also originally aired as a two-part special—from 2021 to 2023, it encompassed the broadcasts of
Wednesday Night Dynamite and
Friday Night Rampage, while in 2024, it aired as
Dynamite and
Saturday Night Collision. AEW then held
Grand Slam Australia in February 2025, which was the company's first event in
Australia and aired as a standalone special. On April 16, 2025, AEW scheduled a second Grand Slam event for the year to be held on June 18 at
Arena México in
Mexico City, marking the company's first televised event in
Mexico. Grand Slam Mexico was held in partnership with the Mexican promotion
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), the owners and primary operators of Arena México. It aired
live as a
special episode of
Dynamite,
simulcast on
TBS and the
streaming service Max in the United States, and
Fox Sports Mexico in Mexico. Tickets went on sale on April 26 and sold out within 48 hours. Grand Slam Mexico had a special runtime of 2.5 hours instead of
Dynamites regular two hours.
Storylines Grand Slam Mexico featured
professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and
storylines. Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs,
Dynamite and
Collision, as well as CMLL's weekly Friday night show
Super Viernes and other CMLL events. ==Results==
