All In (professional wrestling)

All In is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event, currently produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The inaugural event was held independently in September 2018 and inspired the creation of AEW a few months later in January 2019. That inaugural event was promoted by members of The Elite, in association with Ring of Honor (ROH), which retained the rights to the event. The Elite would become executive vice presidents of AEW, and the company established a spiritual successor to All In called All Out. After AEW president Tony Khan purchased ROH in March 2022, he obtained the rights to All In and subsequently revived the event in 2023 as an annual summer PPV for AEW. All In is the biggest show of the year for AEW and their flagship event, similar in comparison to WWE's WrestleMania, and is one of AEW's "Big Five" PPV events, along with All Out, Double or Nothing, Full Gear and Revolution.
The inaugural 2018 event, held at the Sears Centre Arena (renamed Now Arena in 2020) in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, was notable for being the first non-WWE or World Championship Wrestling promoted professional wrestling event in the United States to sell 10,000 tickets since 1993. The 2023 event, which was held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, had an attendance of 72,265, the biggest in AEW's history and one of the biggest in professional wrestling. It would also be AEW's first PPV held in the United Kingdom and in an association football stadium. The 2025 event will be AEW's first PPV event held in a baseball stadium and in the U.S. state of Texas. It will also be the first professional wrestling event to be held at Globe Life Field.
The inaugural All In was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event that was independently produced by members of a wrestling stable called The Elite in association with the American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). It was held on September 1, 2018, at the former Sears Centre Arena (renamed to Now Arena in 2020) in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The event was notable for being the first non-WWE or World Championship Wrestling promoted professional wrestling event in the United States to sell 10,000 tickets since 1993.
The success of All In would lead to the formation of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) a few months later in January 2019, with The Elite becoming executive vice presidents of the new company with Tony Khan as its owner and president. On the first anniversary of All In, AEW established a spiritual successor titled All Out. At the time, Khan wanted to use the All In name for AEW, but he created All Out to avoid a lawsuit with ROH, which owned the rights to All In. Khan would subsequently purchase ROH in March 2022, in turn obtaining the rights to All In.
On the April 5, 2023, episode of Dynamite, AEW announced that they would revive the All In name for a PPV to be held at Wembley Stadium in London, England during the United Kingdom's August Bank Holiday weekend on August 27, titled "All In London at Wembley Stadium". The event marked AEW's debut in the United Kingdom and was the promotion's first PPV to be held outside of North America. "All In London" would proceed to sell 60,000 tickets within the first three days (including pre-sale). It would go on to log a paid attendance of 72,265. After the main event, which saw MJF defend the AEW World Championship against Adam Cole, it was announced that All In would return to Wembley on August 25, 2024.
On August 15, 2024, it was announced that the 2025 event would be held on Saturday, July 12 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, marking AEW's first PPV event to be held in a baseball stadium and in the U.S. state of Texas. This will also be the first professional wrestling event held at Globe Life Field. AEW president Tony Khan has since referred to All In as the company's biggest show of the year, a position previously held by Double or Nothing, in turn becoming one of AEW's "big five", along with Double or Nothing, All Out, Full Gear, and Revolution, the company's five biggest annual events.
Along with the announcement of the 2025 event, it was also revealed that All In would return to Wembley Stadium in 2026, but its exact date has not been confirmed.
