Tony Khan still wants to bring a certain time of tournament to All Elite Wrestling.
Khan is no stranger to booking tournaments, with the amount that happen in AEW being polarizing to say the least. Now, it looks like Khan wants to bring a specific type of tournament to AEW.
Speaking on the Pacific Rim podcast, Khan said he’s still interested in bringing a round robin tournament to AEW.
“There are single elimination tournaments in AEW. We’ve never done a round robin tournament. It’s something I am interested in, but certainly, the G1 is an industry leader there when it comes to being the preeminent round robin tournament in pro wrestling. We participate in the G1. We’ve sent people in the past. With Eddie Kingston being part of G1 and Wheeler Yuta competing in Super Juniors, it gives us great opportunities to have top stars from AEW that we believe in, represent AEW in Japan,”

Eddie Kingston will compete in the G1 Climax 33 tournament.
