All Elite Wrestling maintains a great relationship with the legendary London stadium of Wembley. This venue hosted the 2023 edition of All In, where the highest attendance in history for a professional wrestling event in the United Kingdom was recorded. An unprecedented success for a promotion that aims to replicate this achievement in North American territory.

MJF, one of the most recognizable faces of AEW, addressed this topic in a recent interview for TV Insider. In the interview, he was asked about the possibility of the company holding a show at the iconic Madison Square Garden, the most famous stadium in the world. 

"That’s my Mecca. I know we’d sell it out easy. It would be a joke, especially if I’m in the main event. That’s a big goal of mine to wrestle in MSG. I’ve managed to accomplish the old checklist in this industry, but the scary thing is I’m doing a speed run. There is not much left. MSG is definitely on that list," said "The Devil".

Madison Square Garden has regularly hosted WWE shows in recent decades. In fact, the venue has not hosted any professional wrestling event outside of the Endeavor-owned company since 2019, when it hosted the G1 Supercard from ROH and NJPW. 

The venue has an approximate capacity for 20,000 spectators, although this number varies depending on the type of show being held. The highest attendance for a wrestling show dates back to March 2025 (WWE Live from Madison Square Garden), where an attendance of 20,224 people was recorded.
