Folks, grab your passports and pack your bags because All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is headed Down Under for a truly monumental event. In 2025, AEW’s Grand Slam is officially stepping up to pay-per-view status and will take place in none other than Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. This historic show is set for Saturday, February 15, at the iconic Suncorp Stadium, which can hold up to 52,500 roaring fans. That’s right, AEW is going big, and they’re doing it Aussie style!
So, how did AEW end up choosing Brisbane for this mega event? According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the local Brisbane government played a pivotal role in making this happen. Much like other cities wooing WWE and UFC events, Brisbane has been pulling out all the stops to secure major international events. The city’s push for global attention has been in full swing ever since it locked down the 2032 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. Now, adding AEW Grand Slam to its roster of events is just another feather in Brisbane’s cap.
Brisbane’s wrestling roots run deep, with decades of independent shows and WWE events entertaining fans across the region. However, AEW Grand Slam at Suncorp Stadium is shaping up to be the biggest pro wrestling event the city has ever seen. It’s not just about making history—it’s about redefining it.
Before this big announcement, Australian fans could only catch AEW’s “Dynamite” and “Rampage” on ESPN. But with the Grand Slam news came even more excitement: ESPN confirmed that “AEW Collision” would join the lineup on its Australian platform starting September 1. This expansion is reportedly part of the broader strategy developed by TEG, AEW’s Australian partner for the upcoming Grand Slam pay-per-view.
As for what this means for the traditional Grand Slam event at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, which has been the home of the original Grand Slam special since 2021, the future remains unclear. But one thing is certain—Brisbane is about to get a taste of AEW’s high-octane action, and it’s going to be a night to remember.
