The 2026 Grand Slam Mexico was a professional wrestling television special produced by the American company All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in partnership with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). It was the eighth Grand Slam event and the second annual Grand Slam Mexico.

Production

Background

Grand Slam Mexico took place at the historic Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico, which is owned and operated by All Elite Wrestling's Mexican partner promotion and co-producers of the event, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre.

Grand Slam is a professional wrestling television special produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2021. From its inception until 2024, the event was held annually in late September at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in the New York City borough of Queens. It also originally aired as a two-part special—from 2021 to 2023, it encompassed the broadcasts of Wednesday Night Dynamite and Friday Night Rampage, while in 2024, it aired as Dynamite and Saturday Night Collision.[2][3][4] AEW then held Grand Slam Australia in February 2025, which was the company's first event in Australia and aired as a standalone special.[5]

On April 16, 2025, AEW scheduled a second Grand Slam event for the year to be held on June 18 at Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico, marking the company's first televised event in Mexico. Grand Slam Mexico was held in partnership with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), the owners and primary operators of Arena México. It aired live as a special episode of Dynamite, simulcast on TBS and the streaming service Max in the United States, and Fox Sports Mexico in Mexico. Tickets went on sale on April 26 and sold out within 48 hours.[6][7] Grand Slam Mexico had a special runtime of 2.5 hours instead of Dynamite's regular two hours.[8]

On April 16, 2026, it was reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that AEW was expected to be returning to Mexico City in the second half of 2026.[9][10] On June 2, 2026, AEW announced that they would be returning to Arena Mexico for a second Grand Slam Mexico special on August 5, 2026.[11][12][13]
