In an interview with Q101, Tony Khan addressed the ongoing situation with AEW and a new media rights deal.
Speaking with optimism on where the company is, Khan said:
Right now, it’s the most important time ever in AEW. We’re on the verge of the most important deal we’ll ever make, this upcoming media rights (deal).
The president of AEW went on to talk about AEW’s success over the past five years, citing “amazing pay-per-view records” along with the meaningful crossover promotion with Warner Bros. Discovery, including the likes of Shark Week:
Shark Week is something that’s very important to the company, and with good reason. It’s a huge tradition and something that helped get the company to where it is now. I know it’s really important to Mr. Zaslav, Bruce (Campbell) and Kathleen (Finch), and all the top executives and that’s why I took so much pride in putting together one of the best Dynamites we’ve done.
The speculation over AEW’s media rights future continues in light of a new series called TNT Overdrive being promoted using AEW wrestlers.
