Tony Khan is aware of how AEW Rampage has changed due to the injuries of many top AEW stars.
Speaking specifically about the downward trend of Rampage ratings during the media call ahead of AEW All Out 2022, Tony blamed the ratings slump on a lot of top stars being out due to injury.
“In anticipation of a lot of the top stars returning, this is the effect of a lot of the top stars out. We kept the company really strong through the summer because the flagship show of AEW Dynamite has continued to have strong ratings,”
“The star power coming back this week and in the coming weeks, you’ll see a lot of stars returning to Rampage, the kind of big matches we did at the very beginning when we had a fully healthy roster to support the three hours of TV, honestly, you saw at Grand Slam, we could easily support four hours of TV with that roster and not miss a beat. We lost so many guys, I could do three hours of TV, but not three hours of star, star, star, star, star,”
Tony Khan Media Call
Time will tell who will be featured on Rampage more often, but for now Tony Khan is confident AEW will be able to afford more star power on AEW Rampage going forward.
