ARLINGTON, Texas — North Texas has been a hotbed for All Elite Wrestling with its annual series of shows in December, and the AEW is about to make it even hotter this summer.
AEW has announced a partnership with the city of Arlington to bring the Path to All In summer series to the city's Esports stadium, a weekly series of AEW: Collision, one of AEW's weekly shows that airs every Saturday night on TNT.
Starting on July 20, AEW: Collision will air from that stadium on a weekly basis through Aug. 17. This series is part of AEW's leadup to their massive August event and PPV, All In, which is its biggest show of the year, live from Wembley Stadium in London. Last year, the show drew 72,265 fans to the venue.
In addition to the five Collision shows, AEW announced that Ring of Honor, which is a sister promotion also owned by AEW CEO Tony Khan, would run its summer PPV at the venue -- ROH Death before Dishonor. AEW also stated there would be additional ROH dates announced soon.
“We are thrilled to partner with the City of Arlington for AEW’s first-ever events at Esports Stadium. This AEW summer series will add to the rich legacy of major professional wrestling events held in the great state of Texas and serve as the ultimate springboard for AEW: All In London on August 25 at Wembley Stadium,” Khan said in a statement. “This partnership would not have been possible without the tireless support of Matt Wilson, Justin Grimsley, the Arlington Sports Commission and City of Arlington teams and of course, our incredibly passionate fanbase throughout Texas.”
Here is the full schedule for all of the shows announced so far:
Saturday, July 20 – AEW: Collision
Friday, July 26 – ROH: Death Before Dishonor
Saturday, July 27 – AEW: Collision
Thursday, August 1 – AEW: Collision (Taped to air Saturday, August 3)
Saturday, August 10 – AEW: Collision

“We are honored to team with Tony Khan and All Elite Wrestling for this incredible opportunity,” said Arlington Sports Commission Executive Director Matt Wilson in a statement. “The ability to host TNT’s wildly popular AEW: Collision program is another milestone achievement to bring worldwide events to Arlington and shine a global weekly spotlight on our beautiful city.”
Tickets to all of the events will go on sale on Thursday, June 6 at ETix.com and AEWTix.com.
