AEW Expands Touring Schedule: A Sign of Continued Growth in Pro Wrestling
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has announced three modern dates for its Dynamite and Collision shows in April 2026, signaling continued expansion and a robust touring schedule. The company will bring its brand of professional wrestling to Everett, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and Fairfax, Virginia, further solidifying its presence across the United States.
Expanding the AEW Footprint
The April schedule includes episodes of AEW Dynamite in Washington, Oregon, and Virginia. Notably, the stops in Washington and Oregon will also feature tapings for AEW Collision, maximizing the company’s reach and content creation during those events. Tickets go on sale February 23rd.
This expansion follows recent successful events in Australia and precedes AEW Dynasty, scheduled for April 12th in Vancouver, British Columbia. The April 15th episode in Everett, Washington, is anticipated to heavily feature fallout from the Dynasty pay-per-view.
The Touring Model and Pro Wrestling’s Revival
AEW’s consistent touring schedule is a key component of its success. Unlike some promotions that rely heavily on television tapings in a single location, AEW actively brings its product to fans across the country. This approach fosters a stronger connection with the audience and generates excitement around live events.
The current pro wrestling landscape is experiencing a surge in popularity, often referred to as a “boom period.” AEW, alongside WWE, is at the forefront of this revival, attracting new fans and re-engaging lapsed viewers. A consistent touring schedule allows these promotions to capitalize on this momentum.
Strategic Scheduling Around Major Events
AEW strategically positions its touring events around major pay-per-view shows like Dynasty and Revolution (scheduled for March 15th in Los Angeles). This creates a narrative flow, with live events serving as build-up, immediate fallout, and continued storylines following the larger spectacles. This approach keeps fans engaged between pay-per-views and encourages attendance at live shows.
Looking Ahead: AEW’s Road to Revolution
With events already scheduled through March 15th, AEW is firmly focused on building towards Revolution. The company’s commitment to a consistent schedule of live events, combined with compelling storylines and a talented roster, positions it for continued growth and success in the competitive world of professional wrestling.
