AEW is set to hold its first-ever event in France, with Grand Slam France taking place at the Adidas Arena in Paris. The show, airing as a special Grand Slam edition of AEW Dynamite via tape delay on TBS and HBO Max, is headlined by a AEW World Championship match pitting champion Will Ospreay against Kazuchika Okada, according to Wrestling News.
The title bout is one of four championship matches advertised for the card, as noted by WrestleView in its preview of the show. Ospreay and Okada have a long, well-documented history against one another from their time together in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and their showdown in Paris marks a significant moment as AEW expands its international footprint with this debut French event.
ProWrestling.net also previewed the Grand Slam Paris card ahead of the show, with the full Dynamite broadcast built around the milestone location and the stacked lineup of title matches. Details on the remaining three championship bouts and the rest of the card were not specified in the available reporting beyond confirmation that four title matches were scheduled for the event.
AEW’s push into Paris represents a notable step in the promotion’s international expansion, with the Ospreay-Okada World Championship match serving as the marquee attraction for fans attending the company’s first show in France.
