AEW will hold a residency at the 2300 Arena this summer, hosting seven events at the legendary venue in August and September.
The news was broken today by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
“I’ve always wanted to bring AEW to the 2300 Arena,” said Tony Khan, AEW’s chief executive officer, general manager, and head of creative. “It’s one of the most iconic venues in pro wrestling. I went there when I was 13 years old, and I haven’t been back since. It’s not the biggest venue, and I think there would be massive demand if we only did one night or even two nights. So, I think having several nights expanding our calendar at the 2300 Arena and running multiple shows there is the right way to go.”
Khan famously attended the August 1996 ECW The Doctor Is In event.
The AEW schedule for the 2300 Arena:
Wednesday, Aug. 27 — AEW Dynamite
Saturday, Aug. 30 — AEW Collision
Wednesday, Sept. 3 — AEW Dynamite
Friday, Sept. 5 — ROH Death Before Dishonor
Saturday, Sept. 6 — AEW Collision
Wednesday, Sept. 10 — AEW Dynamite
Thursday, Sept. 11 — Special Taping of AEW Collision
