AEW has seen substantial development and undergone various changes, experiencing growth across multiple facets of its business. In fact, Tony Khan expressed his desire to continue hosting AEW Collision on the night prior to the Super Bowl in the same city as the big game.
In addition to serving as the president and head of creative for AEW, Tony Khan is also a member of the NFL Fan Engagement and Major Events Committee. He has confirmed his desire to continue the tradition of hosting AEW Collision on the night before the Super Bowl, as seen in the 2024 edition held in Las Vegas.
In a recent interview with Fanatics View, Tony Khan expressed his desire to continue the tradition of hosting AEW Collision on the night before the Super Bowl in the same city. Khan highlighted the significance of the Super Bowl, emphasizing its status as the largest live event in the world.
Being a part of the NFL Fan Engagement and Major Events Committee, Khan believes that aligning AEW’s Saturday show with the Super Bowl creates a special experience. He mentioned the success of the event in Las Vegas and the incredible support from the local community, indicating that continuing this tradition makes a lot of sense for AEW.
“I would really like that. Yeah, I think we’ve got something really special here. So I do think that’s a great thing for us. Year in and year out, we know that the Super Bowl brings in the most vast array of fans and certainly is the biggest event in the world. I’m on the NFL fan engagement and major event committee, so I can tell you with assurance that this is the biggest live event of all time in the history of the world. What’s happening out here, Super Bowl in Las Vegas, this is our biggest Super Bowl ever, and what the NFL has been able to do out here, it’s amazing.”
”The support from the Las Vegas community has been great. So I thought it would make a lot of sense to bring AEW here for a Saturday show. Yeah, I think doing the Saturday Collision on the night before the Super Bowl [in the same city as the Super Bowl] makes a lot of sense. We’ll always be on the road to Revolution. Seems like AEW always heats up on the road to Revolution.”
Next year, the Super Bowl is scheduled to take place in the wrestling-rich city of New Orleans. Renowned for hosting numerous WrestleManias in the past and being a vibrant wrestling hotbed during the ’80s, New Orleans holds a special place in the world of professional wrestling. We’ll have to see whether AEW Collision will be held at the same time next year.
