Appearing on Wrestle Radio Australia before Grand Slam Australia, Tony Khan was asked why AEW decided to run Brisbane as opposed to Sydney, Perth, or another city in Australia.

"Brisbane wanted us. Brisbane came to us and said, 'We really want you. We want you to do a show here. We think AEW would be a tremendous attraction in AEW.' It's been great," said Khan.

While making the media rounds, Khan said AEW Grand Slam Australia was one of the biggest gates in AEW history.
