AEW: Tony Khan on AEW’s Status After WarnerMedia’s Merger, Rampage Airing Update, Double or Nothing

Tony Khan Comments on AEW’s Standing Following WarnerMedia & Discovery’s Merger

The Sports Media podcast held a recent interview with AEW CEO Tony Khan. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts on AEW’s standing following WarnerMedia’s recent merger with Discovery.

“We’re at The Forum (in Los Angeles) next week [June 1] and I’m really honored and it’s a great privilege for us because a lot of the top executives from Warner Brothers/Discovery are going to be at The Forum. We have a sold out show, a ton of fans coming. We’ve opened up more seats. It’s one of our biggest crowds in one of the biggest sports markets in the world and some of the greatest wrestling fans. It means a lot personally for me to be in The Forum to begin with, but I can’t tell you what it means that a lot of top executives from Warner Brothers Discovery are not only coming to the show, but they’re throwing a great event for us afterward in The Forum. Just to have their presence to begin with, it means so much they would come to the show, but also a lot of the top executives in the Warner Brothers Discovery family are going to have an event with us with a lot of people in AEW. We’re going to hang out and that means the world to us, getting to know each other better. They’ve been so supportive and great coming in. It means so much to us to be working with the largest producer of content now after this great merger and running such an efficient ship. To be a part of it, putting up numbers, working hard, showing up every week.”
