WrestleDream is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced every October by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2023. The event is held in honor of Antonio Inoki, the founder of AEW's partner Japanese promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), who died in October 2022. [1] [2] The name of the event is a reference to Inoki, who AEW owner Tony Khan called "wrestling's greatest dreamer". [3]
