LOS ANGELES — AEW is returning to Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15, 2026 for AEW Revolution for the second year in a row, AEW CEO Tony Khan told The Sporting Tribune in an exclusive interview on Monday.
Revolution is one of the “big four” pay-per-views for AEW, so Khan wanted the event to return to one of his favorite venues, Crypto.com Arena, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kings and Sparks.
“It’s one of the biggest wrestling shows of the year,” Khan said. “With AEW, we set a really high standard. We always put on great pay per views and Revolution in particular, has such a great reputation for being a tremendous event year in year out. So you can bet this will be very worthwhile.”
Last year, AEW sold out the event with wrestlers like Adam Copeland, Mercedes Moné, Toni Storm, Kenny Omega, and Jon Moxley performing.
Khan said the gears in his head are already churning as he starts planning what he wants to do this year for the event.
“I think top to bottom, one of the best shows we’ve had was this year’s Revolution,” Khan said. “There were so. Many great matches, great moments, and it was a culmination of so many big rivalries. And in particular, I thought that show featured some of the best action AWS had.”
The AEW CEO spoke about how much he loves Los Angeles—not only because it’s a great wrestling town, but also because he grew up a huge Lakers fan.
He recalled attending a game in the 2004 NBA Finals wearing a Lakers jersey in Detroit.
“It’s one of the greatest cities in the world, and it’s a great wrestling community,” Khan said. “So to me, it’s always at the forefront of cities to host the very biggest AEW events.”
Tickets for AEW Revolution will go on sale Monday, December 15, with presale running from December 9–14.
They are expecting the show to be even bigger than last year, and Khan said you never know what surprises AEW may have in store.
“After an amazing revolution show last year, I think we’re poised to have an amazing,” Khan said. “I guess I should say, one of the best and biggest AEW shows at Revolution 2026.”
