Following reports that AEW could be about to extend its Pay-Per-View schedule, the company has now confirmed AEW Dynasty for next month.
As announced during last night’s AEW Revolution, Dynasty will take place from St. Louis, Missouri’s Chaifetz Arena on Sunday 21 April. Tickets for the PPV go on sale this Friday at 10am CT, with pre-sale available from Wednesday at 10am CT.
This comes hot on the heels of AEW last month filing for the Dynasty trademark, and marks the latest expansion of the company’s PPV calendar. Given that Dynasty name, some are speculating that MJF may have a key role to play at this event, with the Salt of the Earth having previously been a part of the Dynasty stable in MLW. Interestingly, Richard Holliday was one of those alongside MJF in that group, and he’s nowadays a free agent. On the other side of that, though, the other main player in the Dynasty, Alexander Hammerstone, has recently signed with TNA Wrestling after his own MLW departure at the turn of the year.
For its first three years, AEW put on four annual PPVs – Revolution, Double or Nothing, All Out, Full Gear – before last year saw three further PPVs added to that line-up in the form of All In, Wrestle Dream, and Worlds End. Of course, on top of that, there’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door which has been an annual crossover event with New Japan Pro-Wrestling since 2022.
On the Forbidden Door topic, there has recently been rumblings that CMLL talent could be involved with AEW and NJPW for this year’s edition of that PPV, with Tony Khan himself outright stating that he’s keen to feature CMLL talent if possible.
