AEW has announced its first-ever show in Mexico, and it will take place at one of wrestling’s most iconic venues.

In conjunction with CMLL, AEW Grand Slam: Mexico will be held on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at Arena Mexico in Mexico City. Tickets go on sale April 26.

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa spoke to Fox Sports Mexico — AEW’s Mexican broadcast partner — about the event.

“It’s about time, that’s what the fans were asking — they’d been wondering for years when AEW would come here, and there’s no better moment than 2025, the first AEW Grand Slam in Mexico. We already had one in Australia, and now it’s Mexico’s turn,” a translation of her comments reads.

“There’s so much Mexican representation in All Elite Wrestling that it was our turn, and what better place than the cathedral of lucha libre?”

“I hope that all of us Mexicans who have been grinding get the opportunity, and that we’re all enjoying ourselves and part of this major event to celebrate lucha libre,” she added.

AEW announced its partnership with Fox Sports Mexico in October. The network was previously WWE’s Mexican broadcast partner before WWE moved its international media rights to Netflix earlier this year.
