Tony Khan On AEW Grand Slam Mexico’s Success, Gives Forbidden Door 2025 Gate Update

Tony Khan recently weighed in on AEW’s successful Mexico debut last month and the upcoming AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025. Khan spoke with Yahoo! Uncrowned for a new interview and noted that the Forbidden Door gate is already one of the top in company history. You can see highlights below:

On AEW Grand Slam Mexico: “The first AEW show ever in Arena Mexico was a massive success. A great partnership between AEW and CMLL, who own and operate Arena Mexico. It means so much for them to invite AEW to Arena Mexico and collaborate with AEW. The show was fantastic and it was a testament to the spirit of the wrestling fans all over the world, and in particular the live fans in Mexico. It galvanized the AEW viewership, leading to the biggest viewership of any AEW event in a very long time. I think that the CMLL fans were so kind to embrace AEW and our wrestlers with open arms. Absolutely, the door is open for AEW to return to Mexico. I think all of us want AEW back in Arena Mexico.”

On AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025 in London: “Each year Forbidden Door has emanated from an iconic wrestling venue in one of the greatest wrestling cities in the world, and this year will be the biggest one yet. It’s one of the biggest gates in the history of AEW already, and it’s going to be a massive event collaborating with our friends and partners at New Japan Pro Wrestling.”
