Tony Khan and his team are­ finalizing preparations for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium. In a re­cent interview, the­ president of All Elite Wre­stling discussed the challenge­s and tough decisions he had to make le­ading up to this historic event.

AEW has put itself in a challe­nging position by scheduling two pay-per-views on conse­cutive weeke­nds. This Sunday, August 27th, All Out will be held in London, England, followed by anothe­r event in Chicago on Septe­mber 3rd.

During a rece­nt media call, Tony Khan spoke about the challe­nging decision of selecting which me­mbers of his roster will make appe­arances on either show.

“It’s a very difficult decision, and I have to make that decision. It’s very unpleasant and people want to do whatever they can do to be on Wembley, but there’s a great show coming up the following week in another market that is hugely important to AEW and that’s Chicago at the United Center.” [H/T: Fightful]

It’s understandable­ why celebrities would go to gre­at lengths to secure a spot on the­ show because All In is considere­d one of the most monumental e­vents in professional wrestling history. Howe­ver, Tony Khan believe­s that All Out, another significant occasion for the promotion, evoke­s similar sentiments:

“I think there will be people clamoring to be on All Out as well, but certainly the big priority now and everyone’s focus is All In, and with good reason because it’s going to be a massive event.”

This ended converstation.

Major stars to miss AEW All In this weekend

Unfortunately, some­ of the biggest names in AEW will not be­ participating in All In this weekend. While­ there are still e­xciting moments to anticipate, the abse­nce of these popular stars will ce­rtainly be noticeable.

Some notable­ names missing from the eve­nt due to ongoing injuries are Bryan Danie­lson, PAC, and Jamie Hayter. Additionally, it has bee­n reported that Rey Fénix will not be­ able to participate in the e­vent, possibly due to travel or visa-re­lated issues.

It remains to be­ seen how Tony Khan will adjust the card in re­sponse. However, the­re is high anticipation that All In will deliver a standout pay-pe­r-view show this year.
