During a media call promoting AEW All Out this weekend, company president Tony Khan addressed a number of topics.
Among these was the match opening the pay-per-view, which will see Adam Copeland and Christian Cage facing FTR when the main show kicks off at 3:00 p.m. Eastern.
Khan was also asked if he was interested in running a big event in 2027 while WWE was in Saudi Arabia for WrestleMania, saying he was “very interested” in the idea and that the company would run a “big show in the spring of 2027” before going to to talk about Revolution (though it was unclear if Revolution is the big show in question).
Other highlights from the media call (courtesy of F4WOnline) include:
- Khan was non-committal on whether they would continue to move PPV times if WWE opposed them and put over the financial success of both All In and Forbidden Door running earlier in the afternoon. He said fans seemed to prefer it as well and that he made the move for the benefit of the fans.
- Khan took umbrage with recent reports that Wardlow was set to challenge for the AEW World title at All Out. He confirmed Wardlow was indeed injured, but didn’t provide any details.
- Khan said it will be the most-attended All Out in AEW history, but didn’t add anything about the gate.
- Asked if the Tailgate Brawl will be a regular pre-PPV thing, Khan intimated that it depends on how it performs on Saturday on HBO Max and TNT.
- Asked about ticket prices, Khan said AEW has always been about being affordable for families “because we are a family-friendly company.”
AEW All Out emanates from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Saturday, September 20.
