The announcement was made during Sunday night’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door: London event. Before the “Unsanctioned Lights Out Steel Cage” main event, the promotion ran a promotional trailer to advertise their UK return scheduled for this December.
During the post-show press conference, Tony Khan, AEW’s President and CEO, confirmed the news, adding that the Continental Classic is coming to the UK when AEW returns in December. He also reminded fans that AEW will return to the UK next year, with AEW All In scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium on August 30, 2026.
AEW now holds records for the highest pro-wrestling attendances in both Wembley Stadium and O2 Arena, with 81,035 fans and 18,992 fans, respectively. Last week’s episodes of Dynamite and Collision took place in Glasgow, Scotland.
