Ahead of a busy weekend in New York City, AEW & ROH head Tony Khan spoke to the media for nearly an hour Tuesday to help promote this Friday’s Final Battle, the full audio of which is below.

The call was relatively light on news other than Khan being asked about his relationship with GCW given Chris Jericho’s surprise appearance there Saturday where he took out Effy and Matt Cardona.

Khan said Cardona requested the appearance to help promote his match with Jericho Friday and that if Cardona wins the title, he could defend it in other promotions as he has a lot of indie bookings ahead. Khan appeared to play down any interpromotional possibilities, saying how they shoot angles in other promotions frequently. He didn’t directly address the question about his relationship, or lack thereof, with GCW owner Brett Lauderdale.

He was also asked about running more residencies in smaller buildings and said they do have more opportunities in the future to do “things” like that in big cities. Khan came off as very careful (or was simply distracted) with his words as if not to accidentally reveal something.

He wasn’t asked about the rumors of a TV deal other than saying there is “more interest and opportunities” to do more with ROH which he is excited about. He didn’t expound on what those exactly are.

Other notes:

• Khan has never been to the Hammerstein before.
• More matches will be announced for the Final Battle show this week.
• He said Ross Von Erich’s injury is taking longer than expected to heal, but hopes to have him back soon.
