AEW will travel to Mexico this week. The Jacksonville-based company is collaborating with Mexican promotion CMLL to host Grand Slam Mexico, and fans are quite excited for this event.
Grand Slam Mexico will be All Elite Wrestling's debut in Mexico. Tony Khan has worked immensely hard for this TV special to happen, and he is evidently very excited. A few hours ago, he released a statement on X hyping the event. He revealed that he had never seen Arena México in person. Furthermore, Khan said that he is a huge fan of the CMLL and is anticipating Wednesday.
"Good morning! Wednesday is AEW’s first time in Arena México, and in fact this week is our first show in Mexico ever! It’s also my first time ever to see Arena México in person, I’m so excited! I’m a big fan of @CMLL_OFICIAL , they’re great partners, I can’t wait for Wednesday!" he said.
