AEW owner Tony Khan pioneered a change that reverberated across the industry. He has partnered with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, bought Ring of Honor, and helped breathe life into TNA, and even forever altered WWE.
“It’s amazing how far we’ve come,” said Khan, who is AEW’s CEO, GM and Head of Creative. “When we came to Vegas five years ago for the original Double or Nothing, we had never done a single episode of AEW TV. We hadn’t launched, which has aired 242 episodes. AEW airs on both TNT and TBS, airing five hours of original programming each week.
“For everyone who cares about AEW all over the world, we’re in a great position. This is going to work out really well for AEW. We’re having great talks, and people should feel very confident about what that means for the wrestlers, the staff, and the fans. As a result of everyone’s hard work and endless support from the fans, there will be a tremendous deal for AEW. The outlook for the company is so bright moving forward.
