We are a little over a week away from All In, with the Wembley Stadium spectacular set to be the biggest event in All Elite Wrestling history, and potentially the highest attended paid pro-wrestling show ever.

Despite the loftiness of the event, AEW have been a little slow in booking the card for the show, with the first few matches only being confirmed over the past several weeks. Such a slow seemingly half-hearted approach to booking the card has led to frustration from some fans, but according to a report from SEScoops, this unrest has spread to the AEW locker-room too:

"A lot... are upset about Wembley," one wrestler told SEScoops. "Maybe if it were just Wembley, it would be different. But with everything that's happened over the last year, it's becoming the one major issue. People want to know if they're going to London, what the card is going to be... it's a show everyone wants to be on. It's like our WrestleMania 3, or maybe our WrestleMania 1, but there isn't any urgency. People are scared we aren't going to live up to this moment.”

Another source in the same report gave AEW President and head booker Tony Khan a little slack, whilst admitting that such frustration from fans is understandable:

"He said (in the presser just after) Forbidden Door that (Wembley) would be a card that would take time to build," another AEW employee said. "He said this was going to be the case, so I'm not sure why everyone is disgruntled about it. I get the fans, but Bryan Danielson would have likely been in the main event or in the top of the card somewhere, then he breaks his arm the same night Tony said this, so it was already a factor before anyone knew how bad he was hurt. That caused a huge change in plans. Tony even said, injuries are going to make this like the first Forbidden Door show when things developed and were scheduled late, and that's been the case."
