Tony Khan believes All Elite Wrestling is firing on all cylinders right now, but the company’s owner didn’t provide much hard evidence to back up those claims during a recent interview.

Khan spoke about AEW’s momentum during an appearance on TMZ’s Inside the Ring while promoting the upcoming AEW Revolution pay-per-view event. During the conversation, he pointed to what he described as strong business indicators across the company, including television viewership, ticket sales, and fan support.

According to Khan, AEW is currently in the middle of a particularly successful stretch, which he attributed to the quality of the product and continued audience interest in the promotion’s programming.

“This one has been very fortuitous. It's been a very fortunate tie. We've been on a great run. I've been wearing it at all the shows recently and we're on this incredible run. AEW’s having tremendous success. The quality of the show, I think, is tremendous and the fans supporting us has been tremendous. Our viewership is very strong.”

Khan also pointed to AEW’s television and streaming presence as part of the company’s current momentum, noting that the promotion airs weekly shows on multiple platforms while continuing to build its audience.

“We're on every Wednesday night on TBS and every Saturday night on TNT. And all the shows for the past year plus have been streaming on HBO Max. And the viewership is tremendous right now, and the live audiences are so enthusiastic.”

He went on to claim that business metrics such as ticket sales and overall company performance are trending upward.

“Our sales are up. We're having a great year.”

However, Khan did not provide specific data or metrics to support those claims during the interview. AEW also does not publicly release detailed financial data, television performance figures, or confirmed pay-per-view buy numbers, meaning most figures discussed publicly come from third-party estimates and industry speculation rather than official company reports.

Still, Khan remains confident that AEW’s momentum will continue as the company heads into Revolution, one of its biggest events of the year. Whether those claims match the measurable numbers remains open to debate, but Khan clearly believes AEW is in a strong position heading into its next major show.
