Should you are a wrestling fan within the Springfield, Massachusetts area, mark your calendars. April 12 is officially All Elite Wrestling Day.
Mayor Domenic J. Sarno signed the proclamation early Saturday. The proclamation acknowledged AEW’s contributions to the skilled wrestling sphere over the past five years, and applauded the “wrestling sensation’s” impact on drawing wrestling fans from all across the Northeastern United States to the Massachusetts city. At the underside of the proclamation, Sarno signed April 12, 2025 as “All Elite Wrestling Day.” It’s unclear whether this will probably be a recurring local holiday, or if Saturday will probably be the one All Elite Wrestling Day for the foreseeable future.
AEW star Thunder Rosa appeared on MassMutual Center’s Instagram account to announce the news. The previous AEW Women’s World Champion stood outside city hall along with her iconic face paint and a pastel pink blazer, smile wide on her face as she accepted town’s proclamation.
“Thanks a lot to Mayor Sarno for giving us a proclamation!” Rosa said. “…Saturday, April 12, it’s All Elite Wrestling Day!”
Rosa read out a series of small notes that accompanied the mayor’s signature. The notes, presumably from Sarno, thanked AEW for visiting the Springfield area once more, and wished the corporate’s competitors well.
“Thanks for coming back to Springfield,” Sarno’s note read. “One bodyslam away from the title! Good health and continued success each out and in of the ring. God bless.”
Saturday’s episode of “AEW Collision” is ready to air live from Springfield, Massachusetts. The show appears to be stacked with talent, with two women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament matches and various appearances by recent world title contender Megan Bayne, current AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm, the recently-returned Anthony Bowens, and AEW World Trios Champions The Death Riders scheduled for the event.
