AEW is gearing up for its second annual AEW Grand Slam: Australia, set to take place on Valentine’s Day in Sydney. This year, the show will be extended, airing from 8:00 pm to 10:30 pm according to TNT’s February 14 schedule, matching the length of last June’s AEW Grand Slam event held in Mexico City. The longer runtime indicates AEW’s intention to deliver another big, action-packed spectacle for its Australian audience.
While the full match card has yet to be revealed, the event is expected to feature prominent Australian wrestlers like “Timeless” Toni Storm and Kyle Fletcher. Toni Storm, who recently reclaimed the AEW Women’s World Championship by defeating Mariah May, is likely to be a key figure in the show, similar to her headline role in the inaugural Grand Slam: Australia. On the men’s side, AEW World Champion MJF faces potential challengers including Brody King, Kenny Omega, “Hangman” Adam Page, Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe, and Andrade El Idolo, setting the stage for a possible title defense.
In addition to the televised event in Sydney, AEW will also hold a live show in Brisbane the following day. Unlike the Grand Slam, this Brisbane event will be a special live experience exclusively for local fans and is not expected to be broadcast on TNT, TBS, HBO Max, or any other AEW streaming platforms.
Fan Take: This news excites AEW fans as it highlights the promotion’s growing commitment to international markets, especially Australia. The extended runtime and star-studded lineup hint at a blockbuster event that could elevate AEW’s global presence and reshape how fans around the world experience pro wrestling.
