AEW President and CEO Tony Khan had a conversation with The Bet Las Vegas & The Sporting Tribune on a number of topics such as how the promotion is moving closer and closer to running a total of 100 live events a year, especially if the amount of Dynamites, Rampages and house shows are added.
Tony Khan said:
“We’re moving towards that number, certainly. There are 52 live Dynamites every week, we’re live on TBS, between those shows, the pay-per-views, the live Rampage specials, and now House Rules events, we’re moving closer and closer to that number.”
AEW President Tony Khan also talked about WWE trying to legalize betting on match outcomes, something that they have already been doing thanks to their partnership with DraftKings.
Tony Khan said:
“We’re already doing it. It’s a little interesting to see all this talk about it because DraftKings has a great partnership with AEW and they’re offering propositions on all events. It’s a huge sponsorship for us with DraftKings, and it’s been happening. If people would like to get action on the big events, specifically Double or Nothing, there are frequently great props and match betting on the Double or Nothing main event and some details around the show. When Double or Nothing comes to Las Vegas, you will be able to wager on it on DraftKings. They are a great sponsor for AEW and it’s been a great partnership. I’ve read some things about potentially more of that kind of action, but from what I’ve seen, there’s already a lot of that going on through our partnership with DraftKings.”
