AEW is gearing up for its biggest U.S. event of the year, but the Texas summer could be an unexpected opponent for the wrestlers.
AEW All In Texas takes place this Saturday, July 13, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and with soaring temperatures and an outdoor setup, concerns about safety are already creeping in.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer didn’t hold back when discussing the brutal reality the AEW roster might face in Arlington this weekend. Meltzer, who used to live in Texas himself, explained why the weather could directly impact the show’s action, especially for the company’s high-flying talent. Meltzer shared his personal experience and broke down the real-world concern:
“I do want to bring that up as far as the Saturday show that no one’s talked about, is that they are in Texas. It is July. I lived in Texas not far from there. It is hot as hell.”
The veteran journalist specifically pointed to the dangerous combination of humidity and sweaty ropes, noting how that could impact wrestlers performing springboard moves or rope-walk spots throughout the event.
“You’re gonna have a lot of matches with a lot of sweat and a lot of moisture and a lot of springboard guys. You can look up and down the card at the guys that do springboard stuff. I hope that they — I hope that there’s no problems there and guys don’t slip off the ropes, especially on this biggest show of the year for AEW.”
The roster for AEW All In Texas includes plenty of aerial specialists and risk-takers, making Meltzer’s concern a legitimate one. The last thing AEW needs is a major injury caused by something as avoidable as slippery ropes.
