Fans of AEW are buzzing after Tony Khan discussed the potential for a Women’s Continental Classic tournament. Speaking during a media call ahead of tonight’s Worlds End PPV, Khan expressed interest in expanding the Continental Classic concept to include AEW’s women’s division, citing the talent and strength of the roster as key factors.
Tony Khan’s Vision for the Women’s Continental Classic
The Continental Classic, which debuted in 2023, has been a platform for high-stakes, round-robin competition. When asked about creating a women’s iteration of the tournament, Khan responded positively, acknowledging the growing momentum in AEW’s women’s division.
“I think the [women’s] division is very strong. This year, we’ve had some of the best matches in the history of AEW women’s wrestling. A Women’s Continental Classic could be very exciting if we keep everyone healthy.”
While acknowledging the challenges posed by injuries and the grueling nature of the tournament, Khan emphasized his enthusiasm for AEW’s current crop of female wrestlers and their recent performances.
Building Toward the Future
The prospect of a Women’s Continental Classic is a natural progression for AEW’s expanding focus on its women’s division. The tournament could provide a fresh platform for stars like Toni Storm, Hikaru Shida, and others to shine while enhancing rivalries and fan engagement week to week on Dynamite and Collision.
