Tony Khan Responds to TKO Booking Two Events Against AEW All In

Tony Khan is getting used to facing competition whenever he runs a big AEW event. Yesterday featured three different major wrestling events: AEW’s Forbidden Door, TNA’s Slammiversary & NXT’s Great American Bash. August 30 will present more of the same, as TKO announced yesterday that NXT & AAA will both be holding televised events on the day AEW All In will take place in London. It’s really not the best thing for wrestling fans with other interests to cram all of these shows into one day, but it’s probably going to be a thing for the foreseeable future.

Tony Khan was asked about this during the media scrum after Forbidden Door. Dave Meltzer suggested he take it as a compliment, and Tony seems to be doing so.

On TKO Running Two Events the Same Day as AEW All In

“It’s good. It’s double the compliment Jimmy Crockett got. That’s good. It’s good. Twice as nice as they were to Jimmy. That’s great. Well, I’ll be sure to take it that way. And I think we’re going to have a great AEW All-In. I’m really looking forward to going back to Wembley Stadium. It’s going to be the biggest night in AW wrestling. And as you could see from talking with the winners of the Owen Hart Foundation tournaments with Mercedes Monae and Will Ospreay, there’s a lot of excitement and a lot of prestige around AEW going back to Wembley Stadium. And I think it’s going to be a great night for AEW. I can’t speak to what the other promotions are doing, but I did see that announcement. So, not a lot I can do other than just hope we have a very good show and plan and prepare that we will have a very good show for AEW All in London. Thank you.
