AEW’s debut in France is official.
AEW Grand Slam: France will take place at the Adidas Arena in Paris on October 6, the company announced on Monday morning.
France has a strong professional wrestling market, supporting mainstream brands and its local independent companies alike. WWE has given the company an increased amount of attention in recent years, visiting Decines-Charpieu for Backlash in 2024, then returning last year for Clash in Paris at the gigantic Paris La Defense Arena.
Now, AEW is getting in on the action with a show at the 9,000-capacity Adidas Arena, which opened in 2020.
Grand Slam: France lands on a Tuesday, an unconventional day of the week for AEW to hold a card. It’s unclear at the moment what the show’s broadcast plans are.
AEW’s “Grand Slam” series has taken the product around the world. Past Grand Slam shows have taken place in Australia and Mexico.
Tickets for AEW’s debut in France will become available on Friday.
