Tony Khan Delighted To Bring AEW All Out To Pro Wrestling Mecca

Tony Khan has spoken of his delight at being able to bring AEW All Out to a place he thinks is a pro wrestling Mecca.

It’s been announced that All Out will be held at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada, on September 20. This marks the first time the event has ever been held outside of the United States, and only the second time it hasn’t been held in Chicago. The 2024 edition of the event was headlined by the controversial Lights Out Steel Cage Match between Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland.

Speaking to the Toronto Sun, Tony Khan explained why he’s so excited about bringing All Out to the ScotiaBank Arena in September:

Toronto is one of the greatest wrestling cities on the planet. It’s a very special place. When I was in college, I went on spring break to Toronto to watch wrestling and it’s some place I really love and it’s – to me, what we call in America a Mount Rushmore city – it’s one of the real crown jewel cities. It’s definitely, to me, one of my top four pro wrestling cities on the planet.
I think there’s great wrestling fans all over Ontario. We’ve done great shows in London, Ottawa, Hamilton, and in particular, in Toronto. And in different venues. We’ve had great experience at the Coca-Cola Coliseum but certainly ScotiaBank Arena is a mecca for us and a mecca for pro wrestling and I’m so excited about bringing AEW All Out back to ScotiaBank Arena this year for All Out 2025 on September 20.

Tony Khan Keeping Busy AEW PPV Schedule

With the date and location for All Out confirmed, the company now has four pay-per-view events scheduled for the remainder of 2025, with more to be added. At the time of publication, no events have been announced beyond September 20.

Next up is Double or Nothing on May 25, then All In Texas on July 12, Forbidden Door on August 24, and then All Out. The main event for Double Or Nothing will see Anarchy In The Arena return to AEW with The Young Bucks set to team with the Death Riders against The Opps, Kenny Omega, and Swerve Strickland.
