Grand Slam Mexico was a 2025 professional wrestling television special produced by the American company All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in partnership with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). It was the sixth Grand Slam and took place on June 18, 2025, at Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico. The event aired live as a special episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite, simulcast on TBS and Max in the United States and Fox Sports Mexico in Mexico, and it had a special runtime of 2.5 hours instead of Dynamite's normal two hours. This marked AEW's first televised event in the country and was the first time Grand Slam was held twice in one calendar year, following Grand Slam Australia in February.

Six matches were held at the event. In the main event, The Beast Mortos, Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta), and The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson) defeated The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata), Swerve Strickland, and Will Ospreay in a 10-man tag team match. In other prominent matches, CMLL's Místico defeated AEW's MJF, Kazuchika Okada defeated Mark Briscoe, and AEW's Mercedes Moné defeated CMLL's Zeuxis to win the CMLL World Women's Championship.

Grand Slam is a professional wrestling television special produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2021. From its inception until 2024, the event was held annually in late September at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in the New York City borough of Queens. It also originally aired as a two-part special—from 2021 to 2023, it encompassed the broadcasts of Wednesday Night Dynamite and Friday Night Rampage, while in 2024, it aired as Dynamite and Saturday Night Collision.[2][3][4] AEW then held Grand Slam Australia in February 2025, which was the company's first event in Australia and aired as a standalone special.[5]

On April 16, 2025, AEW scheduled a second Grand Slam event for the year to be held on June 18 at Arena México in Mexico City, marking the company's first televised event in Mexico. Grand Slam Mexico was held in partnership with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), the owners and primary operators of Arena México. It aired live as a special episode of Dynamite, simulcast on TBS and the streaming service Max in the United States, and Fox Sports Mexico in Mexico. Tickets went on sale on April 26 and sold out within 48 hours.[6][7] Grand Slam Mexico had a special runtime of 2.5 hours instead of Dynamite's regular two hours.[8]
