Tony Khan has big plans for the presentation of AEW Dynamite and Rampage next month to kick off 2023 in style.
All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan recently sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about a potential set change for AEW Dynamite in 2023, Khan confirmed it was coming with the first show in January.
“I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag necessarily, especially so close to the big day. But at the start of 2023, we’re going to open the year on Wednesday, January 4 with the first Dynamite in Seattle, marking a full year of Dynamite on TBS. We’ll definitely have a new look, to say the least. I’m excited about it,” Tony Khan said. “I think it’s a nice thing to present to the fans, but frankly, I’ve found more so than ever, the more you talk about these things.
“When you build them up, you don’t want to create expectations that are impossible. I will say the set will be beautiful though. The look of Rampage will also be different. This will affect the way people view AEW on Wednesdays and Fridays in terms of presentation with the set and the show with the same great action.”
Tony Khan also spoke of the significance of hiring former WWE VP of Global TV Production Mike Mansury and how excited he is about what he’ll add to All Elite Wrestling next year.
“Mike just started with us and is a huge acquisition for AEW. He has so much knowledge in TV production,” Tony Khan said. “To have him join us as a co-executive producer and senior production executive is really great for us. It’s so important to have someone with his experience. Right now he is evaluating things in terms of presentation. I’m excited about what he will add to AEW.”
