Tony Khan is clarifying rumors of a brand split in All Elite Wrestling heading into AEW Collision this Saturday night.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan was a recent guest on Barstool Rasslin’ to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about a potential brand split between Dynamite and Collision, Khan clarifies that no hard lines are drawn between the two shows, but some people will be featured more on one show than the other.
“What a great question,” Tony Khan began. “Well, to elaborate on that and answer your great question, I am going to feature certain talent on certain shows, but I haven’t drawn any hard lines or locked us into any kind of a split of a roster.
“I think people are going to be featured on certain shows, but I also think that gives us a great opportunity to showcase certain wrestlers on both Dynamite and Collision at certain times and certain stories that can cross the shows. I think the champions of AEW will be the champions on every show. And frankly, every promotion in the world.
“We’re not shy about the AEW wrestlers going out and taking on the top stars, top competition from other companies. A great example, and probably the best example, is AEW x New Japan Pro-Wrestling Forbidden Door, and you’ll see a lot of the top stars from AEW taking on great stars from New Japan, and we regularly take on great wrestlers from all over the world.
“And I think our champions will defend those titles outside AEW, but certainly, across all of AEW’s content, all of our shows, and that’s one of the really exciting allures to our shows, I think, and certainly the roster we have is so strong. I believe we had so many great wrestlers; it’s impossible to showcase them all in three hours of television.
“Now, it’s a much better opportunity with five hours of television, and across five hours of television, we can really utilize the roster much more frequently and utilize our great wrestlers more than they’ve ever been utilized before. So I’m pretty excited.”
