Tony Khan was interviewed following the first AEW Dynamite from members of the wrestling media.
Khan was asked a variety of questions such as if he watched NXT, relationships for AEW with other companies, adding more talent, and the AEW Women’s Champion.
Khan commented on if he watched NXT:
“I had eight camera angles, the live feed of our show, plus the network feed, the headset, and the stopwatch (to watch). So no I didn’t watch it (NXT). But I will watch it after I watch our show.”
The AEW President also spoke on adding more talent to their roster:
“Just like I was saying, with Jake Hager, we did a good job keeping that a secret. There are definitely people, to be honest, there are a lot of people that we want that aren’t free agents. We just have to keep an eye out on when they are available, and hopefully, people are going to see the good shows that we do. We’ve done one excellent TV show, and hopefully, it’s commercially successful and brings in big ratings. I think more people are going to want to come here after seeing us do good shows, and it’s also a good place to work. Everyone tells me they like working here.”
Tony Khan commented on a relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling as well:
“I believe one good turn deserves another, but we shall see. I don’t know. I can’t say for sure.”
Khan lastly commented on Riho’s first AEW Women’s Championship defense:
“There’s going to be an announcement about it. There’s going to be a match next week and the person who wins that match is going to wrestle Chris in Philadelphia for the championship. We’ve already been advertising in Philadelphia that there’s going to be the first title defense for both the men and women’s titles.”
