One of the bigger surprises at last night’s Full Gear pay per view was the appearance of Don Callis at the commentary booth. The Impact Wrestling co-executive Vice President was in the booth for the Adam Page/Kenny Omega match and was a surprise to the folks at home.
Callis does have a big link to the company though, as he is a long time friend of Chris Jericho, but that was not the reason Callis was in attendance and in an on air capacity. Tony Khan revealed at the AEW post show media scrum that he was the guest of Kenny Omega.
“It was definitely [something] I did for Kenny and we talked it over with IMPACT and agreed for Don to come. He’s an executive there. I’d love to have Don back here for the future. I’m open to working with people. I think we’ve shown it multiple times that AEW is probably the most friendly major company right now. We’ve got good partnerships with AAA and NWA. Kenny is the AAA Mega Champion, The Lucha Brothers are the AAA Tag Team Champions and Serena is the NWA Women’s Champion. I love working with other companies and you never know. I’m open to Don coming back. He did a great job on commentary.”
Callis and Omega have deep ties and earlier on Twitter referred to Omega as “family.” We’ll have to see if Callis finds himself back on AEW television anytime soon.
