With WWE announcing a new deal with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Wednesday<\/a>, AEW fans were concerned that arrangement would affect the possibility of future shows in Toronto venues like the Scotiabank Arena and Coca-Cola Coliseum.<\/p>\n

According to MLSE, those concerns can be assuaged.<\/p>\n

TSN reporter Steve Argintaru posted on X Wednesday<\/a> that when he asked MLSE specifically that very concern, \u201can MLSE spokesperson told me the new agreement with WWE \u201cdoes not prevent other events in our venues.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new agreement with MLSE, owners of both the Toronto Raptors and Maple Leafs, will see \u201cexclusive merchandise collaborations, original content development, community-focused programs, and regular cross-brand appearances from team players and WWE Superstars.\u201d Athletes from both teams are also expected to appear at a January Raw at the Scotiabank Arena and vice versa for Raptors and Maple Leafs games.<\/p>\n

AEW ran at the Scotiabank Arena both at this past September\u2019s All Out and for June 2023\u2019s Forbidden Door. Collision also emanated from the arena in 2023 while AEW made its Toronto debut at the Coca-Cola Coliseum back in 2022, returning there in 2024.<\/p>\n
