AEW Announces Brawl In The Park Event

All Elite Wrestling is stepping onto a major league stage this summer. In a joint announcement on May 19, 2026, AEW and the Minnesota Twins revealed a first-of-its-kind partnership to present Brawl in the Ballpark, a special postgame wrestling event happening live at Target Field in Minneapolis on Friday, July 10.

The collaboration marks the first time a Major League Baseball franchise has ever teamed up with AEW to host a live in-stadium card. The roughly 75-minute showcase will feature top stars from both AEW and Ring of Honor, and it is scheduled to begin immediately following the conclusion of the Twins game against the Los Angeles Angels that evening.

To accommodate the action, a specialized wrestling ring will be constructed inside the Gate 34 area of Target Field, a popular fan plaza that typically houses the stadium's prominent Golden Glove statue. Admission to the postgame wrestling show is completely free for any fan holding a ticket to that night's baseball game.

The crossover initiative began unfolding on television during Tuesday night's Twins game against the Houston Astros. Minnesota's own Top Flight, Darius and Dante Martin, were at the ballpark to help launch the announcement when they were suddenly ambushed by veteran star Jeff Jarrett. The legendary wrestler laid into the hometown duo, declaring that he would get the job done against them when the promotion returns to Target Field in July, effectively setting up the event's first major rivalry.

AEW CEO and Head of Creative Tony Khan expressed massive enthusiasm for the unique venue, noting that the company is thrilled to showcase its product directly to baseball fans in an unforgettable environment. Twins Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Sean Moore echoed that excitement, framing the partnership as a major win for fan-first ballpark experiences.

While standard game tickets guarantee access to the postgame show, the Twins have also rolled out several upgraded ticket packages for the night. These special tiers include perks like an exclusive co-branded Twins and AEW Lucha mask hat, VIP ringside seating next to the Gate 34 plaza, and elevated aerial views from the outdoor patio deck.

The stadium showcase lands in the middle of a major summer stretch for AEW as the promotion builds toward its massive international tour in August. By introducing the roster to a broader sports audience at Target Field, AEW looks to create a unique summer tradition that could pave the way for future stadium collaborations across Major League Baseball.
