AEW Homecoming is a periodic professional wrestling television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Established by the promotion in 2020, it celebrates the company's return to its home venue of Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. Homecoming airs as special episodes of AEW's weekly television programs.

After producing Homecoming events in 2020 and 2021, the special was briefly discontinued until its return in 2024. The event originally aired as a special episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite on TNT, but in 2024, it was expanded to a two-part special, also encompassing Friday Night Rampage, with Dynamite now airing on TBS and Rampage on TNT. The 2025 event was held as a one-night special of Saturday Night Collision on TNT, which was subsequently the first Homecoming to be simulcast on the streaming service Max.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the vast majority of the promotion's shows had to be held at Daily's Place from March 2020 to June 2021, but these were not produced as Homecoming events due to the circumstances. Additionally, although AEW returned to Daily's Place for episodes of their television programs in December of 2021, March and October of 2022, and April of 2024, these were not held as "Homecoming" specials.

History

File:DailysPlace Jax Edited1.jpg's return to its home venue of Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida]]

After the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was founded in January 2019, the company held its third-ever event, Fight for the Fallen, on July 13 that year at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida.{{Cite web|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/other-wrestling/aew-reveals-date-and-venue-fight-fallen-278431|title=AEW reveals date and venue for Fight for the Fallen|last=Currier|first=Joseph|website=Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online|date=March 4, 2019|accessdate=April 17, 2019|archive-date=March 6, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306044643/https://www.f4wonline.com/other-wrestling/aew-reveals-date-and-venue-fight-fallen-278431|url-status=live}} Daily's Place is an open-air amphitheater located on the same complex as the EverBank Stadium (formerly TIAA Bank Field; renamed in 2023), the home stadium of the Jacksonville Jaguars, a National Football League team that is also owned by AEW President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Khan. As such, the stadium itself is AEW's de facto headquarters, with Daily's Place becoming AEW's home base. On January 1, 2020, AEW held a special episode of its weekly television program, Wednesday Night Dynamite on TNT, at Daily's Place titled Homecoming, in reference to the venue.{{cite web|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2019/10/28/aew-announces-new-years-day-event/|title=AEW announces New Year's Day event|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|first=Jason|last=Powell|date=October 28, 2019|access-date=December 23, 2019|archive-date=October 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002041811/https://prowrestling.net/site/2019/10/28/aew-announces-new-years-day-event/|url-status=live}}

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that began effecting the industry in mid-March 2020, AEW held the majority of its programs from Daily's Place;{{cite web|url=https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/03/13/aew-moves-show-from-rochester-to-jacksonville-due-to-coronavirus/|title=AEW moves show from Rochester to Jacksonville due to coronavirus|last=Mealey|first=Jason|date=13 March 2020|website=News4Jax|language=en|access-date=22 March 2020|archive-date=28 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200428004053/https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/03/13/aew-moves-show-from-rochester-to-jacksonville-due-to-coronavirus/|url-status=live}} these events were originally held without fans, but the company began running shows at 10–15% capacity in August, before eventually running full capacity shows in May 2021.{{cite web|url=https://www.pwinsider.com/article/146563/aew-double-or-nothing-2021-ppv-notes.html?p=1|title=Double or Nothing 2021 PPV notes|work=PWInsider|first=Mike|last=Johnson|date=May 5, 2021|accessdate=May 7, 2021|archive-date=May 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210509062131/https://www.pwinsider.com/article/146563/aew-double-or-nothing-2021-ppv-notes.html?p=1|url-status=live}} Although held at Daily's Place, these shows were not "Homecoming" events due to the circumstances. In May, AEW announced that it would be returning to live touring, beginning with a special episode of Dynamite titled Road Rager on July 7.{{cite web|url=https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2021/05/10/aew-announces-a-return-to-touring-starting-in-july-w-heydorns-analysis/|title=AEW announces a return to touring starting in July (w/ Heydorn's Analysis)|work=PWTorch|first=Zack|last=Heydorn|date=May 10, 2021|accessdate=May 13, 2021|archive-date=May 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210512205607/https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2021/05/10/aew-announces-a-return-to-touring-starting-in-july-w-heydorns-analysis/|url-status=live}} Road Rager was also the first of a four-week span of special Dynamite episodes as part of AEW's "Welcome Back" tour, which continued with the two-part Fyter Fest on July 14 and 21 and concluded with Fight for the Fallen on July 28.{{cite web |last1=Nason |first1=Josh |title=AEW ANNOUNCES DATES FOR FYTER FEST, FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN, ROAD RAGER |url=https://www.f4wonline.com/aew-news/aew-announces-dates-fyter-fest-fight-fallen-road-rager-343871 |website=Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online |access-date=June 13, 2021 |date=June 11, 2021 |archive-date=June 13, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210613105204/https://www.f4wonline.com/aew-news/aew-announces-dates-fyter-fest-fight-fallen-road-rager-343871 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last1=Casey |first1=Connor |title=AEW Announces Welcome Back Tour for AEW Dynamite's July Episodes |url=https://comicbook.com/wwe/news/aew-welcome-back-tour-aew-dynamite-july-fyter-fest-fight-for-the-fallen-road-rager/ |website=ComicBook.com |access-date=July 9, 2021 |date=June 11, 2021 |archive-date=July 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210709185524/https://comicbook.com/wwe/news/aew-welcome-back-tour-aew-dynamite-july-fyter-fest-fight-for-the-fallen-road-rager/ |url-status=live }} In early July, AEW scheduled a second Homecoming episode to be held after the conclusion of the "Welcome Back" tour, briefly returning AEW to Daily's Place on August 4.

Although AEW returned to Daily's Place in 2022 for episodes of Dynamite and their secondary program, Friday Night Rampage (which premiered on TNT on August 13, 2021), these were regular episodes that were not produced as Homecoming specials.{{cite web|url=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/results/aew-dynamite-results-3222-adam-cole-and-redragon-vs-adam-page-john-silver-and-alex-reynolds|title=AEW Dynamite Results For 3/2/22 Adam Cole and reDRagon vs. Adam Page, John Silver, and Alex Reynolds|date=March 2, 2022|last=Wilkins|first=Rob|work=Fightful|access-date=January 9, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.pwmania.com/aew-rampage-results-october-21-2022|title=AEW Rampage Results – October 21, 2022|date=October 21, 2022|last=Boone|first=Matt|work=PWMania|access-date=January 9, 2024}} AEW did not hold any shows at Daily's Place in 2023, but scheduled a return to the venue in January 2024. The company in turn revived the Homecoming special with the third event held on January 10, 2024. Unlike the prior two events, the 2024 Homecoming expanded the show to a two-part special, with the first part airing live as a special episode of Dynamite on TBS (the program moved from TNT to TBS in January 2022), with the second part taped the same night to air on tape delay on January 12 as a special episode of Rampage on TNT.{{cite web|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/ricky-starks-vs-sammy-guevara-booked-for-aew-dynamite-homecoming|title=Ricky Starks vs. Sammy Guevara booked for AEW Dynamite Homecoming|date=January 5, 2024|last=Renner|first=Ethan|work=Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online|access-date=January 6, 2024}}

AEW returned to Daily's Place in late April 2024 for episodes of Dynamite, Rampage, and its third program, Saturday Night Collision (which premiered on TNT in June 2023), but these were not held as Homecoming specials.{{cite web|url=https://dtjax.com/events/aew-dynamite-rampage-at-dailys-place/2024-04-24/|title=AEW Dynamite/Rampage at Daily's Place|work=Downtown Jacksonville|access-date=June 27, 2024}} The first Collision to be a Homecoming special was the 2025 event, scheduled for January 25. This also reduced Homecoming back to a one-night event, following Rampage{{'}}s cancellation at the end of December 2024. This was also the first Homecoming to be simulcast on the streaming service Max.{{cite tweet|author=Daily's Place|user=dailysplace|number=1872282157026054409|title=JACKSONVILLE!

The 2021 Homecoming was the second Homecoming professional wrestling television special produced by AEW. The event marked a brief return to AEW's home venue of Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida, which is where they had produced shows through the majority of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 – June 2021), and came after the conclusion of AEW's "Welcome Back" tour, which celebrated the company's resumption of live touring. It was held on August 4, 2021, and was broadcast on TNT as a special episode of AEW's weekly television program, Wednesday Night Dynamite. This was the final Homecoming special produced until 2024, as despite AEW returning to Daily's Place in December 2021 and then in March and October of 2022 for episodes of Dynamite and their Friday night program Rampage, these were not produced as Homecoming specials, and no shows were held at Daily's Place in 2023.

The 2024 Homecoming was the third Homecoming professional wrestling television special produced by AEW.

The 2025 Homecoming was the fourth Homecoming professional wrestling television special produced by AEW. Although the company held shows at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida in April 2024, this was the first Homecoming special at the venue since January that year. It was held on January 25, 2025. Unlike the prior year, which aired as a two-part special encompassing Wednesday Night Dynamite and Friday Night Rampage, the 2025 event was reduced back to one night and was the first Homecoming to air as a special episode of Saturday Night Collision. The special was simulcast live on TNT and Max, which was the first Homecoming to be simulcast on Max.
