Jeff Jarrett Explains What AEW Needs To Make France A Regular Market For Shows

Jeff Jarrett discusses the upcoming AEW Grand Slam: France event on Tuesday, noting what it will take for France to become a regular market for AEW.

On October 6th, AEW are currently set to head to France for their latest Grand Slam event, and the show is set to feature some of AEW’s top talent in the Adidas Arena. Now, a staple of the AEW roster has spoken about what it means for the company to be heading to France.

While speaking to Kickout in a new interview, Jeff Jarrett spoke about what it means for AEW to expand into the French market with the event.

“It’s huge. It’s all about professional wrestling or any kind of form of sport or entertainment. There’s nothing like seeing it live. I’ve been in the professional wrestling business for three generations, and it’s a global sport now. It’s seen all over the world, but there’s nothing like experiencing it live. You know, last month we were in Wembley Stadium, and so, you know, with the vibe and the electricity that is in that stadium, and we travel the brand all over, but there’s nothing like seeing it live, and that’s what Grand Slam at the Adidas Arena is gonna be very special.”

Jarrett was then asked what it would take for France to become a regular market for AEW.

“Our television partner. Warner Next, Warner TV. We have a wonderful relationship with them really all over the globe, specifically on TBS and TNT in America. But for here, it all starts with that distribution partner, and so it’s very strong. So we have to continue to grow that relationship. That’d be first and foremost, and then again, there’s only so much time. 52 Wednesdays, 52 Saturdays for Dynamite (and) Collision and then we have our premium live events. So a consistency in the market is paramount as well.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Jarrett spoke about ticking off bucket list items with appearances at Wembley Stadium and Arena Mexico. You can read more about that here.
