AEW Wrestledream Kickoff Time, Crowd Capacity, Theme Song, And More
Is professional wrestling a sport for dreamers? Antonio Inoki, a wrestling legend, believed so when he established New Japan Pro-Wrestling. AEW, the wrestling promotion, is committed to carrying on its legacy with the first-ever AEW WrestleDream event. This event pays tribute to the late Antonio Inoki, who passed away on October 1, 2022. AEW President Tony Khan affectionately called him ‘wrestling’s greatest dreamer.’ The announcement of WrestleDream took place during the All In 2023 post-show media gathering on August 27, 2023. It has quietly become one of the most anticipated events of the year. The event is scheduled to be held at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, the home of the NHL’s Kraken. This fills a gap in the AEW calendar, as there has historically been no major event between All Out in early September and Full Gear in mid-November. While it hasn’t been confirmed yet if WrestleDream will become an annual tradition, its location makes it fitting to feature hometown hero Bryan Danielson. With Bryan Danielson acknowledging that his full-time wrestling career is winding down, his dream match against Zack Sabre Jr. for the title of the world’s best technical wrestler is expected to be a must-see bout. Another exciting match will see the unlikely pairing of Chris Jericho and the Golden Lovers, Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi, taking on The Don Callis Family, consisting of Konosuke Takeshita, recent addition Sammy Guevara, and Will Ospreay. Several championship matches are also on the card, including a unique one where Eddie Kingston will defend both his current titles against Katsuyori Shibata. A pre-show, possibly themed as Zero Hour, hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s worth keeping an eye out for any announcements this week.

WWE Fastlane is a wrestling event hosted by WWE, a company based in Connecticut. It’s shown live on pay-per-view (PPV) and has been accessible through the WWE Network since 2015 and Peacock since 2021. Now, let’s delve into the six-year history of WWE Fastlane. WWE Fastlane is a significant live event by WWE, and it got its name because it plays a crucial role on the path to WrestleMania. The first Fastlane was held in February 2015 as part of the Road to WrestleMania. In 2017, it became exclusive to the Raw brand and moved to March. In 2018, it switched to the Smackdown brand, and in 2019, it became a dual-brand event. It happened annually until 2019, but it was canceled in 2020 and then brought back in its usual slot the following year. However, it was discontinued once more after 2021 and has now returned in 2023, but with a new schedule. About WWE Fastlane 2023: WWE Fastlane 2023 is a pay-per-view event organized by WWE. It’s the seventh Fastlane event and the first since 2021. Fastlane is scheduled for October 7, 2023, and it will take place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Usually, Fastlane happens in February or March and serves as a major event leading to WrestleMania. But in 2023, it’s happening in October for the first time, and it’s also taking place on a Saturday, a first for Fastlane. The 2023 edition of WWE Fastlane will air live from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. It’s set for Saturday, October 7, following WWE’s recent practice of holding Premium Live Events on Saturdays, which started last year.
