Tony Khan has to be feeling confident when it comes to the future of All Elite Wrestling on Turner broadcasting as the AEW President had some promising words for the live crowd in Chicago.
AEW Collision aired live last night ahead of ALL OUT this Saturday and while the action in the ring was set to go down, Khan made his usual appearance in front of the live crowd. Khan is going back to his classic look with a clean shave and glasses which could be a callback to the days of AEW old, but he did make some interesting statements to the live audience regarding AEW’s future with TBS and TNT. Khan was amped up in his hometown of Chicago as he commented on the potential of a forthcoming television deal with the promotion’s longtime TV partner.
“I feel pretty good to say, AEW on TBS and TNT, I think is here to stay!”
There’s been a lot of thought that a new television deal between WBD and AEW has been well in the works, but Khan has been much more vocal about it in recent days. During the ALL OUT media call on Thursday, Khan was asked about a new deal update and praised the relationship that AEW has had with Turner and their president David Zaslav. He even brought the relationship up unprompted later on during the call before actually saying that AEW is in “the redzone” with the new deal, they just gotta put the ball into the endzone, using a NFL reference.
