Tony Khan appeared as a guest on Busted Open Radio to promote the AEW shows this week.
During the interview, the AEW President spoke about the tremendous locker room in the company, the recent CM Punk vs. MJF showdown on AEW Dynamite last Wednesday night and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On the tremendous locker room in AEW: “We have a tremendous locker room. Some of the best young wrestlers, and some of the best veteran wrestlers in the business. In both the men’s and women’s locker room, I think it’s a great mix. You saw this week with MJF beating CM Punk, you saw time and time again, we’ve had really great young wrestlers. You talk about the four pillars, Jungle Boy, MJF, Sammy Guevara, and Darby Allin. And maybe the fifth pillar, Dr Britt Baker, the Women’s World Champion. All of them have had huge wins, and I think we’ve got a great mix of veteran stars and young talent here in AEW right now, and it’s a winning combination. It makes for a great locker room.”
On MJF having his best match against CM Punk: “It was an amazing match, it was an incredible match. You can’t say enough about what those two men did for AEW and for our fans. All the great people in Chicago who came through a snowstorm to get to the show, they saw an awesome, awesome main event. I don’t think it was the result anybody in Chicago wanted to see, or probably anybody wanted to see. I have to say, outside of Long Island I don’t know if there’s that many MJF fans. But if you’re an MJF fan, this was your biggest night, because that was his biggest win, and his best match. I thought it was an awesome main event.”
