Below are a couple of top AEW news stories of the day:
• AEW’s newest signing will be revealed at tonight’s Full Gear PPV. During a Q&A session on Fightful Select, Sean Ross Sapp was asked if this signing is going to be WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg.
Sapp said Goldberg won’t be the surprise at Full Gear, but is expected to join All Elite Wrestling in the future:
“The signing is not Goldberg, although I can tell you that there have been talks, they have definitely had some conversations. I mean everyone’s asking about Will Ospreay and stuff. I can tell you this.
Last year AEW came to terms with Chris Jericho. This year came to terms with Kenny Omega, Hangman Page and The Young Bucks. If Ospreay lands there, well guess who else Barry Bloom reps? Goldberg.
Barry Bloom did all those deals and has a great relationship with AEW. I don’t doubt that we will eventually see that.”
Goldberg wants to have a proper retirement match. Vince McMahon promised him that, but with Vince no longer running the creative, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen in WWE.
His last match took place at Elimination Chamber 2022, where he lost to Roman Reigns in a Universal Championship match.

• All In 2023 at Wembley Stadium in London was AEW’s biggest show to date.
During a media call to promote tonight’s Full Gear PPV, AEW President Tony Khan revealed that All In: London did 200,000 pay-per-view buys, thus making it the second most-bought PPV in the history of All Elite Wrestling.
All Out 2021 holds the record for the most AEW PPV buys at 205,000. That PPV featured CM Punk’s first match in AEW (and his first match in over 7 years) and the debuts of Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson.
According to the Wrestling Observer, AEW’s long-term plan is to do All In at Wembley Stadium every year in late August on a Sunday of the holiday weekend.
All In 2024 will take place at Wembley Stadium on August 25th.
