Tony Khan says going into Grand Slam, he had several personal challenges going on with his family. His dad Shad Khan wasn't able to be there because Tony's mother had a stroke after All Out, before Grand Slam. Says it was a really stressful time for his family. He says his mother was at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, and doctors weren't able to initially figure out what led to her stroke. She was able to go home. A few weeks later, around his 40th birthday, his mother had a second stroke. Tony Khan says his mother had a spot on his heart doctors found, and the doctors said if they could fix that, they could hopefully stop the strokes. As AEW was in Toronto, she was going into surgery. He watched AEW Rampage that night from his mother's hospital room (this was the week of the Jags/Colts game). The operation on her heart went well, but he says it's a really challenging recovery for her. His mother is now doing really well. She had a great Thanksgiving with the family, and she seems to be doing better and better every day. Is grateful to his family and that he was able to be there with her during such a trying time for them all.
Tony Khan says after this week, he will be limiting how much of Ring of Honor you see on AEW TV. He doesn't want it to overshadow AEW on its own platform. He'll address the future of ROH after Final Battle. Says AEW comes first and foremost, yet ROH is very important and doesn't want it to take a backseat to anything. But doesn't want it to pull focus of ROH on AEW.
Tony talks about Rampage's low ratings. Says Rampage this week will have a big card, would like to use the depth of the AEW roster, get all hands on deck,
and get big matches on Rampage.
Tony Khan says there are several Latin America countries AEW could be successful in. There are no concrete plans to run, but he will look into it. Thinks ROH could run internationally as well, and has in the past. He would love to continue this in the future with his vision of Ring of Honor, with an international AEW or ROH show.
Asked about Athena, Tony Khan says he's very pleased with the work she's done. Believes she's reached another level the past several weeks, past several months. He likes her aggressiveness she has displayed and called it "compelling TV." Calls it her best work in AEW so far.
Tony Khan says that there is a connection between NJPW and ROH. Says Juice Robinson could be a great TV Champion in ROH. He would consider
letting Juice Robinson defend the title in NJPW if he beats Samoa Joe at Final Battle. He also says that he can talk more about ROH/AEW/NJPW on Saturday. 
Asked about using Maria Kanellis in a backstage capacity, Tony Khan says he's talked to Maria about Women's Wrestling Army, and says she has a great eye for women's talent.
Tony Khan is asked if he sees Jade Cargill as AEW's version of Roman Reigns or Mandy Rose (in regards to length of title reign). Tony says he sees Jade as her own star. Says there's no comparison for Jade Cargill, she's in a class all her own. Says Jade is a great champion with huge star power, great crossover appeal. When she walks into the room at sporting events, people immediately take notice.
Tony Khan won't get into Shane Taylor's contractual status, but is excited to have people who have had success in ROH's past on the brand. He thought the story made sense with Shane Taylor's history with Keith Lee, and itseems to be a bit of a "family affair" when they meet with former partners and opponents. . Keith himself was the one who brought it up to Tony Khan.
There's a lot of crossover between AEW and ROH creative teams. Tony Khan heads them both up, but there's some crossover, and a few people that are individual to certain brands.
