Tony Khan On Women Main Eventing An AEW PPV: ‘I Would Expect To See It In the Future’

Tony Khan is confident that women will main event an AEW PPV at some point in the future, noting that it has to be the “right situation at the right time.” While the AEW women’s division was perceived as lacking when the company launched, it reached new heights in 2025 through the efforts of people like Mercedes Mone, Toni Storm, Kris Statlander and more. Mone and Storm competed at All In: Texas, a match that some felt could have main evented that PPV.

Khan was asked about women potentially main eventing an AEW PPV in his interview with Jon Alba on The Takedown On SI. He noted that he expects it will happen, and it has to be the right match at the right time. He emphasized how Mone and Storm was one of the main matches of All In: Texas and could have been the main event as opposed to Hangman Page vs. Jon Moxley, which ultimately closed the show. You can see highlights below:

On the Potential For a Women’s Match To Main Event An AEW PPV:

“It’s a great question. It’s very potentially possible. It has to be the right match, or the right situation at the right time. If there were ever two that could do it, it would be the two you mentioned [Mone & Storm], but there’s a bunch of other candidates for it as well.”

“And it was a fantastic match they had at All In: Texas. That was a main event-caliber match and it really felt that way, and it was presented as one of the main matches on the card. There were three key matches distributed down, and there were multiple other matches that I think could have easily been main event matches on the card. But there were six spaces that we put up on Global Life Field, three matches. And Toni Storm-Mercedes, Omega-Okada, and Hangman-Mox. Loaded show. Totally loaded. Any one of those could have been a great main event.”

On If Statlander vs. Storm Could Have Main Evented All Out:

“Yeah, that’s a great question. Well, it’s just depends on the situation, the rivalry at the right time. I think it’s a great point and a great question. And you know, for what the matches are, and in that case I thought for what they were going to do. Going 38 minutes, tearing the house down on that particular night, I thought Hangman and Kyle was a great choice. And knowing what they had planned, and a lot of times that comes down to it. I think it’s absolutely something we can see and I would expect to see in the future on the night where it makes the the most sense and it’s the biggest and most anticipated match on that card.”
