AEW President Tony Khan and Phil Schneider were guests on the Way of the Blade podcast, where they discussed several topics, including the collaboration between All Elite Wrestling and ACTION Wrestling for two upcoming DEAN~! events.
Schneider said, “What we’re announcing here is not just a DEAN~! 2 but a DEAN~! 2 and a DEAN~! 3 in collaboration with our friends at AEW. The first one is going to be May 24th outside of the Scottsdale Arena at 8 p.m. (local). It’s going to be a free show. Mad Dog Connelly is going to be on the show, Gringo Loco is going to be on the show. Coven Of The Goat. We’re going to have some AEW wrestlers and make some unique matchups with AEW guys and indie guys. We’re going to put on something very cool in Arizona. Also, DEAN~! 3 is going to be in September at the ECW Arena.”
ACTION held the first DEAN~! event in April of 2024 during WrestleMania 40 weekend, honoring the late Dean Rasmussen of DVDVR. DEAN~! 2 and DEAN~! 3 will feature both AEW and independent talent.
