AEW has announced it will be joining forces with The Last Match: The Pro Wrestling Rock Experience later in the year in London’s West End.
As announced via press release on June 15, All Elite Wrestling and The Last Match will premiere in London in the autumn of 2026. The collaboration will mark the first time that a major wrestling company has entered the world of musical theatre. The to-be-confirmed venue will be near Tottenham Court Road and will be transformed into the immersive wrestling and rock-and-roll experience seen in previous shows.
AEW CEO Tony Khan said the following regarding the collaboration:
“On behalf of AEW, we are thrilled to collaborate with The Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience in London this fall,” said AEW CEO, GM and Head of Creative Tony Khan. “This marks an incredible opportunity to partner All Elite Wrestling with an established theatrical production, showcase AEW stars during select performances and further expand our footprint in the London market.”
Two of the producers of The Last Match, Jeremiah James and Frank Licari, also shared their excitement at the show making its way to London in the autumn:
“AEW Presents The Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience is a West End rock musical that happens to take place in the world of professional wrestling,” said Jeremiah James, Director, Lead Producer, and one of the creators. “I am deeply grateful to Tony Khan and everyone at All Elite Wrestling for believing in this project and embracing a creative risk that has never been attempted before. Together, we’re helping to innovate a new form of live entertainment.”
“One of the things that drew me to AEW Presents The Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience is that no two performances will ever be exactly alike,” said Executive Producer Frank Licari, “The story, music, and characters remain the same, but the live wrestling element creates opportunities for surprises, special guests, and moments that can only happen in that room on that night.”
