Tony Khan is more than ready to discuss how he plans to promote his company going forward.
Khan has proven time and again he is willing to do anything to grow AEW’s audience. He listens to fans continuously and has done an excellent job of earning respect from the wrestling fanbase as a promoter.
On the Double Or Nothing Media Call, Tony Khan commented on how AEW is still growing their audience and how they can keep that growth steady in the future.
“It’s probably one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves, ‘how do you grow a fanbase, especially as the TV landscape changes?’ For us, we’ve been able to get great audiences supporting Dynamite and Rampage. The best thing we’ve been able to do — the pay-per-view numbers have been great and they’ve been able to grow and grow, which is exactly what you want to see where every pay-per-view event has had year over year growth, that’s the best trend you can have. To continue that kind of growth, the best thing we can do is continue developing and, I don’t want to say nurturing because this is a hard sport and people are beating the hell out of each other, so I don’t know if nurturing is the right word, but continuing to develop, and take care of, and treat the wrestlers well and have a company where young wrestlers are going to want to sign up and learn and get better to where this is going to be the home of the best young wrestler, but also continuing to recruit in free agency.”

Time will tell how much more AEW’s audience continues to grow. It is worth noting that the company is only three years old, so it is an incredible feat to have the audience AEW has now.
