Tony Khan Claims AEW Has The Greatest Roster Ever

AEW Dynamite will celebrate its five-year anniversary on October 2nd with an epic showdown as Will Ospreay defends the AEW International Championship against none other than Ricochet. Fans of both wrestlers are buzzing over the prospect of this highly anticipated bout, given their incredible history in the ring. However, some have questioned the decision to showcase such a major match on free television with relatively little build-up.

During an interview with Busted Open Radio, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about his strategy behind booking major matches like Ospreay vs. Ricochet for Dynamite, instead of saving them for pay-per-view. Khan defended the decision, emphasizing that AEW’s stacked roster allows for these kinds of huge matchups to take place on major TV broadcasts.

“That’s why I think it makes perfect sense with these big stages,” Khan explained. “We have the greatest roster ever. There is an unlimited supply of huge matches. These are matches that have been building since the people arrived at AEW.”

Khan also discussed Ricochet’s impactful AEW debut at All In, hinting that this match is just the beginning of what’s to come for the high-flying star. He further teased other potential high-profile matches for AEW’s TV events, including the possibility of a long-awaited bout between Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness, which could happen at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam.

As Ospreay and Ricochet prepare to reignite their rivalry in the ring, this match has the potential to be one of the most memorable moments in AEW Dynamite’s history. Fans can expect fast-paced, jaw-dropping athleticism as both competitors push the limits, especially on such a significant milestone for AEW.

While some may have concerns about the shorter build-up, Khan’s approach suggests that AEW is ready to deliver top-tier wrestling on both pay-per-view and weekly television, giving fans plenty of reasons to tune in.
