AEW to host Grand Slam France at Paris Adidas Arena

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) will hold its first French event, ‘AEW Grand Slam: France’, at the Adidas Arena in Paris on October 6, 2026. The event features a high-profile World Championship match where Will Ospreay is set to defend the AEW World Championship against Kazuchika Okada. Additionally, a match between Chris Jericho and Nick Wayne has been confirmed.

To mark the occasion, Warner TV Next will broadcast the event on October 8 at 21:45, following a four-night wrestling programming block from October 5 to 8 that includes All Out, Dynamite, and Collision.

The event coincides with a scheduling shift for AEW Dynamite, which will air on Tuesday instead of its usual Wednesday, placing it in direct competition with WWE's NXT program. Reports suggest WWE may bolster its NXT broadcast on that night with talent from its main roster to counter the AEW event.
