With AEW set to take over the city on Wednesday, Sept. 25, Khan was in Midtown one week early, spreading the news of the extravaganza.
CEO of All Elite Wrestling Tony Khan spoke to amNewYork Metro Thursday during his visit to the Big Apple ahead of next week’s Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe Stadium, touching on the history of the company that has carved out a space for itself in the wrestling world that many thought to be impossible.
“I love New York. It’s a great city for all sports, including pro wrestling and football. I’ll be in New York doing both things. It’s an exciting time for me. I’m here today, we’re promoting this coming Wednesday night AEW Dynamite Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe stadium. It’s the biggest AEW dynamite of the year. It’s the biggest Wednesday night in all of AEW, and we’re coming up on the five-year anniversary the following week, celebrating all these things here in New York City,” Khan said.
“This year alone we’ve had so many of our best moments. We had the AEW World Tag Team Championship, when Sting and Darby Allin defeated the Young Bucks to become the World Tag Team Champions. Sting and Darby Allin, they retired undefeated. It was one of the greatest matches ever and I think it was one of the greatest nights of my life to have at Revolution in Greensboro,” Khan recalled.
Despite that love Khan told amNewYork Metro that he has no desire to step into the ring. In April Khan found himself gaining the ire of wrestler Jack Perry and even received a piledriver from the tag team the Young Bucks. This left Khan wearing a neck brace in subsequent appearances. When asked if fans could ever see him wrestle, Khan said he is not keen on the idea.
