Tony Khan Feels Like AEW’s Turnaround Began At Full Gear 2024

Tony Khan feels very good about where AEW has been over the past year, noting that he feels the company’s turnaround began at Full Gear 2024. Full Gear 2025 took place on Saturday night and was largely well-received. AEW had a bit of a rough 2024, and Khan spoke at last night’s Full Gear post-show scrum about how he feels things have changed around. You can see highlights below:

On Last Year’s Full Gear Starting To Turn Things Around:

“One year ago — sitting in this chair today, I felt; I don’t feel now. One year ago I felt — and today, it’s 180 degrees the other way — felt, one year ago, embattled. I feel the opposite. I feel like we are — doing the 10,000 fans, and having the Full Gear show, felt like the beginning of a turnaround. And that’s really what everybody, the vibe [at] Full Gear last year was like, ‘This feels like the beginning of a big turnaround for us.’

On The Past Year In AEW:

“And you look at one year later, and it feels like we’re on such a great run this year. It’s been a great year for us. Some interesting things I’m learning about looking back at this year. And we’re in the fourth quarter now of the year… we’re doing things differently a year later.

“But I felt like one year ago, that was a beginning of a great run of things that now — like you said, full circle. It feels like a total opposite feeling, where it feels like a year ago, it felt like the beginning of a turnaround. And now it feels just like flow, momentum. And what a great year we’re having.”
