During a recent interview with PWInsider, AEW star Anthony Bowens spoke about wanting to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, and if he thinks AEW could sell out the legendary venue. Below are some highlights:

Anthony Bowens on His Career Goal To Wrestle at MSG

“That’s one of my career goals. I’m pretty sure I heard MJF say the same thing. That’s one of the career goals, is to wrestle there. So hopefully one day we can make that happen.”

On Fans Who Think AEW Couldn’t Sell Out MSG

“People are delusional if they think we wouldn’t sell [MSG] out. We got 14,000 over in Queens. They said the same thing about Wembley, that we wouldn’t put 80,000 in there, and we sold the place. We would do it.”

As previously reported, Bowens intends to reveal a new submission hold tomorrow at AEW Double or Nothing 2026. He’ll be competing in the Buy In pre-show, teaming with HOOK and Katsuyori Shibata to take on The Death Riders’ Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia in a six-man tag team match.

AEW Double or Nothing 2026 takes place tomorrow at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. It will be broadcast live on pay-per-view. 411 will also have live play-by-play coverage of the event. The Buy In pre-show starts at 7:00 pm ET, followed by the main card at 8:00 pm ET.
