All Elite Wrestling staged its first U.S. stadium event on Saturday with the “All In: Texas” pay-per-view at Globe Life Field in Arlington. The company said the card drew close to 25,000 spectators and generated gate receipts exceeding $2.5 million, setting what AEW calls the largest non-WWE live gate for a professional wrestling show in North American history. The milestone underscores AEW’s six-year rise from start-up to the No. 2 promotion in the industry. Founder Tony Khan said he waited to book a stadium until the company could confidently fill it, calling the night “a really important week in pro wrestling.” The attendance figure surpasses AEW’s previous domestic record at Arthur Ashe Stadium in 2021 and comes after back-to-back Wembley Stadium shows in London. Established in 2019, AEW has expanded its pay-per-view calendar and emphasized creative freedom for wrestlers, attracting names such as Chris Jericho, Bobby Lashley and Darby Allin. Saturday’s card, headlined by Kenny Omega versus Kazuchika Okada, sold worldwide on traditional and streaming PPV platforms including Prime Video and Fubo, reinforcing AEW’s growing commercial footprint.
