Evil Uno talks AEW's presence in Canada.
On October 12, AEW made history by holding a show in Canada for the first time in their near four year history. The company's Dynamite event was reportedly attended by over 7,000 people, which makes it one of the highest attended episodes of Dynamite in 2022.
The company moved quickly to capitalize on the success of the event, as they recently announced a return to Canada in March for a Dynamite taping in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In a interview that was taped before the Winnipeg announcement, Evil Uno told Fightful that he'd be very surprised if the company didn't do a event in the highly renowned wrestling city.
"Winnipeg, I think is a guarantee. If we don’t Winnipeg, I’d be very, very surprised. I mean, Kenny’s from there. Don Callis is from there. Then, finally, if I could have a personal stake, I would love if they went to the nation’s capitol, Ottawa. That’s where I live and am from. But truthfully, it’s a large city but it’s not as crazy and enamored by wrestling as the other cities are."
Uno also went on to name drop two other major cities as potential future destinations for AEW events.
"I mean, Toronto must be the first city we hit and it makes a ton of sense. I think Toronto is one of the larger wrestling markets, just historically. If I were to hit some major cities, Montreal. Absolutely. Great city for wrestling. Great crowds, historically crazy crowds. I’m really excited to see what happens. I think Vancouver is another one."
AEW is set to travel to London for a event in 2023. Fightful will provide more details on the company's trip across the pond once they are made available.
