Tony Khan comments on AEWs growth, relationship with WBD, more

[Chris]

“Right now, it’s the most important time ever in AEW. We’re on the verge of the most important deal we’ll ever make, this upcoming media rights."

“Over five years, it’s really been building to this point where AEW’s going to jump into the media rights and be a very profitable, successful company that has lived up to every expectation we ever could have had because we’ve done so many amazing things in these years. We’ve had all these amazing pay-per-view records. We’ve done pay-per-view numbers, whether adjusted or straight-up, however you want to look at it, head-to-head, very strong compared to the last few years of WCW, and I think that’s really a success story.”

“It’s a really interesting business point that our business on pay-per-view has continued to get stronger."

On promoting Shark Week over the last few years:

“Shark Week is something that’s very important to the company, and with good reason. It’s a huge tradition and something that helped get the company to where it is now. I know it’s really important to Mr. Zaslav, Bruce (Campbell) and Kathleen (Finch), and all the top executives and that’s why I took so much pride in putting together one of the best Dynamites we’ve done.”
