Tony Khan Pledges Major AEW Spring 2027 Event, Eyes Revolution

The pledge answers fan calls for a U.S. alternative to WWE’s 2027 Riyadh WrestleMania.

Overview

  • On an AEW media call, Tony Khan vowed AEW will stage a huge event in spring 2027 and singled out Revolution as the show he expects to be "huge."
  • Khan said AEW will be in the peak of its Warner Bros. Discovery media deal in 2027, pitching the platform as support for a large-scale show.
  • WWE has officially confirmed WrestleMania 43 will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2027.
  • Fans and industry voices have floated the idea of indie promotions clustering around an AEW-led U.S. event that spring, though no formal coordination has been announced.
  • Scheduling remains uncertain because Revolution has historically run in late February or early March, earlier than WrestleMania’s recent mid-April dates.
