Tony Khan spoke with Sports Illustrated, saying the following about tonight's "big announcement" on Dynamite: “This is something I’ve dreamed of for years, It’s a huge milestone for AEW, and I can’t wait to talk about it. There will be fans around the world who will be excited—it is one of the most important announcements ever in AEW.”
On whether AEW would ever hold one of their signature pay-per-view over two days similar to Wrestlemania: "We could do one event spanning a weekend and we could also do multiple events across a week,” says Khan. “It’s something we’re considering, especially as we keep entering so many new debut markets. We’re looking forward to expanding and holding more huge events.”
On the subject of Ring of Honor SuperCard of Honor and working with other promotions like AAA and New Japan::“I think New Japan Pro-Wrestling and AAA trust me and know we’re going to do right by their talent,” says Khan. “That trust and honesty has allowed us to build relationships with different companies, and that’s why they send their top stars, champions and legends to AEW and Ring of Honor. Including international stars is very important to us, and we just featured that on Dynamite when Kenny Omega wrestled Vikingo in a critically acclaimed match. Wrestling promoters feel comfortable sending their wrestlers to AEW, and those international relationships have helped AEW grow.”
