Plans are reportedly in place for All Elite Wrestling to return to the iconic Hammerstein Ballroom later this year.

WrestleVotes reported in a Backstage Pass Q&A that AEW will run the venue at the Manhattan Center in New York City around the Christmas period.

"I've learned through sources that they're going to return to the Manhattan Center, Hammerstein Ballroom, this December like they did last year to rave reviews. So New York City, around the holidays AEW will be back in the Hammerstein Ballroom for a few episodes of their TV," WrestleVotes said.

All Elite Wrestling debuted at the Hammerstein Ballroom over the holidays in 2024, with ROH Final Battle on December 20, a live taping of AEW Collision on December 21, and a taping of AEW Dynamite on December 22 which aired on Christmas Day.

AEW President and Ring of Honor owner Tony Khan expressed his interest in returning to the Hammerstein Ballroom following Final Battle 2024.

The Hammerstein Ballroom has hosted a number of iconic pro wrestling shows, including the likes of ECW One Night Stand and several editions of ROH Final Battle.
