Tony Khan also addressed the question of whether AEW intends to expand its pay-per-view schedule, emphasizing the positive outcomes that have accompanied such expansions in the wrestling industry. He acknowledged that companies that have broadened their pay-per-view offerings have typically found it to be a beneficial decision.
Tony Khan provided insight into his own experience, mentioning that he had planned the WrestleDream event approximately a year ahead of time, a decision influenced by Antonio Inoki’s passing. Additionally, he expressed his strong belief in including All In on AEW’s calendar, highlighting the strategic significance of these events.
The AEW president emphasized that they have successfully crafted a sustainable pay-per-view calendar for the year, a period that has yielded their highest revenue and buy rates to date. Tony Khan also underscored the achievements of All In, which boasted an impressive live gate and garnered around 200,000 pay-per-view purchases, surpassing the previous year’s figures.
