AEW debuted back in 2019 with all the momentum in the world. It is a fact that the company was truly at its peak after All Out 2021 when many felt they were ready to take over the pro wrestling world. Those days are long gone now as AEW is struggling to sell tickets for their shows. That said, Tony Khan has addressed AEW being considered ‘cold.’
Tony Khan’s company is certainly not what it once was and this has become an undeniable fact, as the general interest in the product has slowly diminished over the past year.
While speaking on The Dan Le Batard Show, Tony Khan was asked about AEW being “cold” and how the company is able to change that view. Khan dismissed the claim entirely and explained how AEW has actually gained momentum over the past couple of months.
“We’ve really begun to change it. The perception is very strong for AEW worldwide. 44 days ago, we set the all-time record for ticket sales for any wrestling show ever in the history of the planet. We’re having a very good year, our pay-per-view numbers are through the roof, and we’re going to have a great show tonight on TBS. The fans are behind what we’re doing, people are mobilized behind this lineup, I’ve seen more positive momentum and positive feedback about AEW in the last 24 hours than I have in several weeks and that’s saying a lot because we’ve had a lot of huge shows in the last several weeks.”
AEW Dynamite will be going head-to-head against NXT tonight, as many fans feel NXT will finally crush Dynamite in ratings. We will have to wait and see which show will be superior once all is said and done.
