AEW All In: Tony Khan Updates Event Runtime, Injury Adjustments, and Historic Gate Figures

During a media call preceding AEW All In, AEW President Tony Khan discussed several key topics related to the upcoming event, including match logistics, talent availability, and financial milestones.

When questioned about the structure of Sunday’s pay-per-view, Khan provided specific timing details:

It’s going to be a show that will run at most on pay-per-view for four hours, and I have the show (laid) out right now — of course things can always happen. It’s live television but, the way it’s paced right now, I think fans are really gonna like it… It will go live on pay-per-view at 1 PM EST, 10 AM PST. I expect the show to be over by 5 PM EST, by 2 PM PST.

Khan also emphasized the event’s commercial success, highlighting AEW’s strong track record in London venues:

The top three shows in AEW’s history have all come from Wembley Stadium. Also, we set the record at The O2. So, certainly four out of the top five or six gates in AEW’s history have all been in London and by far top three shows in attendance and in gate will all be in London. We’re approaching already a six million dollar gate, and then some, for this show. So, it’s one of the biggest success stories in professional wrestling history, and it’s gonna be an amazing event…

Regarding injury concerns, Khan confirmed that Willow Nightingale is dealing with a hand injury sustained during recent television tapings, but affirmed her participation at All In:

That’s true. Willow’s hand is injured. It was a late change. Sometimes, when you’re going into wrestling tapings and shows, you have ideas and an outline. You come in and you have something happen like that, with Willow’s hand being broken on the day you’re filming Dynamite and Collision, that’s a major change. The team did a great job in the situations yesterday. I had plans for Willow yesterday that I had to change based on the injury. It is the case that Willow is injured and will be wrestling with the injury. Expect to see Willow Nightingale at AEW All In. Yes, she has a hand injury but she really wants to wrestle Mercedes and she really wants to wrestle at All In and defend that world championship. I know Willow Nightingale is a fighter, she’s proved by holding multiple championships in AEW that she’s a fighting champion.

AEW All In takes place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 30.
