It seems Tony Khan‘s approach to free agency in professional wrestling has changed since the launch of AEW in 2019.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan was a recent guest on the Battleground Podcast. When asked how it feels to have recently released WWE talents bringing up AEW as a potential place they’d like to work next, Khan said it’s a good perception for the company and expressed his desire to maintain the quality of his roster.
“There is a very good perception about AEW in 2025,” Tony Khan said. “The company is doing great shows. This feels like the best year ever in AEW. This whole year has been a huge uptick for AEW on TV. When you factor in the additional fans watching on streaming on the simulcast, it’s just going fantastic for us.
“There is a great perception about AEW, it’s a great time to work here. It’s also a lot of fun; it’s a fun place to work. It’s a great place to apply your trade as a wrestler and we’re looking for the very best. This is where the best wrestle. AEW has the best wrestlers in the world and we want to keep it that way. It’s a very high bar to reach this roster and we want to maintain the quality.” [H/T: Fightful]
