Tony Khan spoke to the media following AEW Dynasty.

Khan, Toni Storm, the returning Anthony Bowens, and new TNT Champion Adam Cole took questions from the media following Sunday’s event in Philadelphia. Here are the highlights:


Toni Storm

• Storm said she was invited to appear on the red carpet for the upcoming TCM Film Festival on April 24th.
• She said she would be at this Wednesday’s Dynamite to address the women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament participants.

Anthony Bowens

• Bowens said Caster needs to do everyone a favor and “burn his boots,” saying he can go on being the worst rapper alive.
• Asked about his return after being gone several months, Bowens said he was nervous until he heard the crowd’s reaction, saying it’s something he’ll never forget.
• One of his goals is to be AEW’s first gay singles champion.
• He talked about his “Five Tool Player” nickname, saying it was a baseball term that he used prior to joining AEW.
• He thought his gear team “knocked it out of the park” with his ring gear.

Adam Cole

• He said winning the TNT Championship was one of the top moments of his career, mentioning how tough the last few years were with his various injuries. He said it was very special and he’d never forget it.
• During his segment, Tony Khan said that Adam Cole is here with AEW for life, even if he can’t wrestle.
• Cole also said that his family were in attendance tonight.

Tony Khan

• The first question was regarding his most humbling experience running a wrestling promotion. He mentioned two: the deaths of both Brodie Lee and Jay Briscoe.
• One person had a question about ending the show on a down note, asking if he’s ever considered calling an audible whenever fans get upset. Khan said he does take it into consideration, and while there were a lot of great moments for fans at Dynasty, obviously the outcome of the main event was not what people hoped for. He does think that the return of the Young Bucks brings intrigue, and fans were behind Swerve Strickland more than ever before.
• He also said Moxley was one of the most important people in AEW dating back to the promotion’s existence. Khan said Moxley had done good things for the company recently, pointing to his street fight with Adam Copeland doing some of the highest ratings dating back to November.
• Khan said he was interested in running the ECW Arena, or as he called it, the 2300 Arena.
• He was asked about the issues regarding the Bandido/Chris Jericho match that came up during the week and how it wasn’t officially confirmed until Saturday. He said a lot of things were happening this weekend regarding getting the right people needed for the segment. He said he thought some of the speculation during the week was ridiculous.
• Khan revealed that there were originally pay-per-views scheduled for Philadelphia until the pandemic hit.
