AEW is bringing a pro-wrestling rock experience to London.
As AEW prepares to return to London for All In after a move to Texas in 2025, Tony Khan has announced a partnership to bring a different kind of entertainment to the city. The Last Match: A Pro-Wrestling Rock Experience premiered in Jersey City, NJ in 2022, and now AEW is bringing it to the UK.
In a press release, it was announced that the immersive experience will take place in a 52,000 square ft venue in London’s West End.
“Opening in the heart of London’s West End, AEW Presents The Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience will transform a historic 52,000 square ft venue near Tottenham Court Road into an immersive wrestling and rock-and-roll wonderland, creating one of the most unique live entertainment experiences ever staged in the United Kingdom.
“Designed for audiences of all ages and part West End rock musical, immersive theatrical experience and professional wrestling phenomenon, AEW Presents The Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience is set against the backdrop of one wrestler’s final pay-per-view event. The production combines an original 1980s-inspired rock score, powerful theatrical storytelling, larger-than-life characters that audiences will cheer for and world-class professional wrestling into a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience that features unforgettable songs, emotional performances, romance, comedy and spectacle, while telling the universal experience of retirement, legacy, love, family and finding the courage to leave your life’s work behind with your head held high. Whether you’ve attended hundreds of wrestling events or have never seen a single match, fans in attendance will be able to follow every moment of the story.”
AEW Stars Set To Feature In The Last Match: A Pro-Wrestling Rock Experience
Tony Khan shared his enthusiasm for the production and revealed that select performances will feature stars from AEW itself.
“On behalf of AEW, we are thrilled to collaborate with The Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience in London this fall.
“This marks an incredible opportunity to partner All Elite Wrestling with an established theatrical production, showcase AEW stars during select performances and further expand our footprint in the London market.”
Performances of The Last Match will also include a preshow interactive wrestling experience featuring installations and exhibits. Further announcements on casting and ticketing information will be released in the coming weeks.
This won’t quite be the first time AEW has made a foray into musical theatre, as in 2020, Chris Jericho and MJF presented the acclaimed Le Dinner Debonair on Dynamite.
