AEW Forbidden Door: WWE alternative announces location for London event and Scottish debut - tickets

• AEW have announced their 2025 plans regarding their shows in the UK.
• The O2 is set to play host to AEW Forbidden Door, while Glasgow will see the debut of the wrestling company in Scotland.
• Here’s how you can get tickets, including pre-sale access, to one of the biggest wrestling events set to take place in the UK in 2025.

The WWE isn’t the only game in town set to tour Europe over the summer, with the announcement that All Elite Wrestling are coming back to London in August 2025.

The company, founded by Tony Khan in 2019, have revealed that their huge crossover event with New Japan Pro Wrestling this year, Forbidden Door, will be taking place at The O2 in London; previously the company held two large events in London in Wembley, but with a step down comes the chance for an extended tour.

With that in mind, the company have also announced that they will be making their Scottish debut during their 2025 UK tour, with the ‘go home’ episode of AEW Dynamite set to take place at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro mere days before the pay per view event.

No details on the matches scheduled for either show, but there is a lot of discussions that British-born wrestler Will Ospreay may play a key role at the show; the former IWGP champion is front-and-centre on the promotional materials and is scheduled to compete in the Owen Hart Cup - with the winner looking to secure a world title shot at the London event.

Here’s when the company are coming to our shores and when you can get tickets to the alternative to the WWE.

Where are All Elite Wrestling touring in the UK in 2025?

AEW is set to perform at the following venues on the following dates:

• August 20 2025 - OVO Hydro, Glasgow (AEW Dynamite)
• August 24 2025 - The O2, London (AEW Forbidden Door)
