Tony Khan recently appeared as a guest on the In The Kliq podcast for an in-depth interview promoting the AEW Grand Slam programming this week.
Ahead of tonight's Grand Slam: Dynamite at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, the AEW and ROH President spoke about MJF's TV return and a big merger that could have a big affect on AEW business.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On MJF's return to TV and his deal with the company: “I don’t want to comment on contractual status. But I would say it’s great to have MJF back in AEW. I think it’s great for the wrestling fans and certainly it’s really helped us. We’ve had a lot of ratings momentum. We had great ratings going into All Out and they’ve only gotten stronger these last couple weeks and it’s really building at the right time going into Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe Stadium this week.”
On the rumors of a potential Warner Brothers Discovery and NBC Universal merger: “I could definitely not speculate on that and I would never speculate on that. I’m very happy with what we have right now. We have this great leadership from Discovery that’s come in and taken over, working with great management from Warner Brothers and now we have this really strong company Warner Brothers Discovery that is the single largest creator of content in the world and they’re showcasing AEW greater than we have ever been showcased before.”
