Tony Khan and other AEW stars took questions from the media.

Khan, Swerve Strickland, and Big Boom AJ all took questions from the media following Sunday’s pay-per-view. Here are the highlights:

Swerve Strickland

• Swerve said he’s suffering from a ruptured eardrum following his match with Ricochet.
• When asked about potentially a second reign with the AEW World title, Swerve said that it takes a special crop of talent of both men and women to reach the World title, as it is a championship that not everyone can hold. They have to raise the bar. That was what he did with his first reign, and in his second reign it will be about silencing the doubters.
• Strickland pointed out that his match with Ricochet on Sunday was the first time in AEW that two Black men fought for the number one contendership.

Big Boom AJ

• When someone asked if AJ would go “deeper” in his relationship with AEW, he said he thought he was in deep already. He said that he, Big Justice, and The Rizzler are all signed with AEW.
• He said he had some music plans coming together, including with Strickland.

Tony Khan

• After promoting their recent arrival on Amazon Prime, Khan said that early numbers for Sunday’s show look good.
• The first question was regarding being more ‘into the weeds’ with AEW’s recent string of shows. Khan said he had read that report and compared it to being more involved with the booking leading to the first Revolution event back in 2020, saying sometimes he’s more detail oriented with some shows compared to others. He said he thought the buzz was there for this show just like there was five years ago.
• Khan was asked if they’d run the Intuit Dome, which recently opened. Khan put over the Crypto.com Arena instead, saying they would love to come back.
• He was asked if they’ll do more long form storytelling after the Toni Storm/Mariah May match that took place on Sunday. Khan pivoted to explaining the storyline in depth. While putting over the storyline, he said Grand Slam Australia as one of AEW’s best television shows.
• One question was asked about choosing to close with the AEW World title match in the main event rather than go with Storm/May. Khan said that any of the top four matches could have headlined and hindsight is 20/20. He pointed to the strong reaction Swerve Strickland got for laying out Jon Moxley at the end of the show, saying he thought Swerve would get a good response by closing out the show that way.
• He also said repeatedly that Sunday’s show was “start to finish” the best show that they’ve had.
• Khan ended the presser by saying this was one of the harder-hitting shows they have done, and some people are banged up following the show. Khan was going to check with medical to see who would be cleared for this week’s shows.
