AEW President Tony Khan danced around the profitability question during the AEW Double or Nothing media call, but he made one thing crystal clear — AEW is bringing in more money than ever before.
When asked directly if AEW is profitable in 2026, Khan avoided giving a yes-or-no answer. Instead, he shifted focus to the company’s revenue growth and future expansion plans while painting a very optimistic picture of where AEW currently stands financially. Khan told the media that AEW is having its biggest revenue year in company history and claimed the promotion has never had a stronger financial outlook.
“Our revenue is the highest it’s ever been. I can’t comment on where we stand in terms of every expense year to year. Certainly, this is going to be the most revenue we’ve ever generated and the strongest financial outlook for the company ever.”
Khan also pushed the idea that AEW is pouring money back into the business instead of slowing down. According to him, digital expansion and international growth remain major priorities for the company moving forward.
“I’m reinvesting in a number of projects, including digital projects, to grow the company for the future. In addition to having the highest revenue by far in AEW history this year, I’m also making big investments for the future to grow the company.”
The AEW boss continued by stressing that the company’s long-term future looks stronger than ever as he looks to expand into new platforms and territories.
“The future is the healthiest outlook because I’ll continue to reinvest in the business, developing new platforms and trying to open up new territories to grow the company in the future.”
Khan may not have fully answered the profitability question, but he definitely wanted the wrestling world to know that AEW sees itself as a growing powerhouse heading into Double or Nothing weekend.
