Tony Khan talks the current state of the AEW women's division.
Throughout 2022, both All Elite Wrestling and Ring Of Honor have added plenty of talent to their already stacked roster. On the women's side of things, notable names such as Toni Storm, Athena, and Saraya have all joined the ranks of that division.
Fresh off one of the most critically acclaimed women's main events in Dynamite history, Tony Khan commented on the state of the company's women's roster in an interview with Grapsody.
"I’m really trying to put out the best matches week to week, whoever they are. If I get to the point where the roster is built with, that’s the strongest group of wrestlers and they are pulling the strongest ratings consistently, that’s who I’m going to push in those spots consistently, no matter who they are. I’m really happy with, in particular, we had this amazing match with Jamie Hayter and Shida, it was a great world title match. It’s been a really great year for us. Always trying to push the best wrestlers week to week and it has to change with the flow of the show. This year, it probably, in many ways, became more diverse and I think that’s because a lot of those wrestlers, some came in as free agents, some improved to the level where they got better and a lot of people connected to the crowd and lo and behold, it was a more diverse roster than it was last year. I’ll always push the best roster I can and I want it to be as diverse as possible."
