LONDON, UK – June 15, 2026 – All Elite Wrestling today
announced a partnership with The Last Match: A Pro-Wrestling
Rock Experience, a groundbreaking new live entertainment
event set to premiere in London’s West End this fall. This
partnership marks the first time a major wrestling company
has stepped into the world of original musical theatre.
Opening in the heart of London’s West End, AEW Presents The
Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience will transform a
historic 52,000 square ft venue near Tottenham Court Road
into an immersive wrestling and rock-and-roll wonderland,
creating one of the most unique live entertainment
experiences ever staged in the United Kingdom.
Designed for audiences of all ages and part West End rock
musical, immersive theatrical experience and professional
wrestling phenomenon, AEW Presents The Last Match: A Pro
Wrestling Rock Experience is set against the backdrop of one
wrestler’s final pay-per-view event. The production combines
an original 1980s-inspired rock score, powerful theatrical
storytelling, larger-than-life characters that audiences
will cheer for and world-class professional wrestling into a
one-of-a-kind entertainment experience that features
unforgettable songs, emotional performances, romance, comedy
and spectacle, while telling the universal experience of
retirement, legacy, love, family and finding the courage to
leave your life’s work behind with your head held high.
Whether you’ve attended hundreds of wrestling events or have
never seen a single match, fans in attendance will be able
to follow every moment of the story.
“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.”
“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.”
Unlike most West End productions, AEW Presents The Last
Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience will actively
encourage audiences to capture photos, videos and share
their experience on social media in real time.
AEW Presents The Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Experience
is directed under a vision years in the making by Jeremiah
James, who previously starred in the acclaimed 2008 West End
revival of Carousel at London’s Savoy Theatre and Executive
Produced by Frank Licari, an Emmy-nominated producer whose

entertainment. Also serving as Executive Producer and
Wrestling Consultant is Chavo Guerrero, whose credits
