AEW announced a seven-show residency for 2300 Arena via AllEliteWrestling.com.
May 2, 2025 – All Elite Wrestling today announced that the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia will host an exclusive multi-week residency of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision, marking the first time in history that AEW events have been held at the historic venue. These events are in addition to the previously announced ROH Death Before Dishonor event on Friday, September 5.
The residency dates are as follows:
Saturday, August 30 – AEW Collision
Wednesday, September 3 – AEW Dynamite
Friday, September 5 – ROH Death Before Dishonor
Saturday, September 6 – AEW Collision
Wednesday, September 10 – AEW Dynamite
Thursday, September 11 – Special Taping of AEW Collision
“We are thrilled to bring AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision to the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia from August 27 – September 11,” said AEW CEO, GM and Head of Creative Tony Khan. “This residency has been years in the making, highlighted by an overwhelming demand from both fans and media alike for this legendary venue to host AEW events. I look forward to returning to the 2300 Arena for the first time since I was 13 years old and bring our passionate fans in Philadelphia an incredible few weeks of AEW shows this summer.”
Ticket information for AEW Dynamite, AEW Collision and ROH Death Before Dishonor at 2300 Arena will be announced in the near future. Fans interested in early access presale opportunities can register to become an AEW Insider by visiting allelitewrestling.com/aew-insider.
Powell’s POV: Running seven shows at the former ECW Arena will save production money. ROH Death Before Dishonor was originally announced for July 11 in Arlington, Texas, but it has been moved to September 5 at 2300 Arena. ROH Supercard of Honor was originally announced for May 2 in Atlantic City at Boardwalk Hall, but that show will now be held on July 11 in Arlington, Texas, which was the original date and location for ROH Death Before Dishonor. Do you have all that? We’ll have a quiz later today.
As announced by @PhillyInquirer, AEW is coming to the 2300 Arena for the first time EVER!

Selling a maximum of 9,100 tickets in 2 weeks seems like a terrible decision. Also, are they renting places for everyone to stay or are the wrestlers supposed to be flown back and forth to the same location over that time?
