Tony Khan comments on the deciding who gets booked for AEW All In and AEW All Out.
Khan noted that he would have to see how AEW All In and All Out one week apart would go, but he was excited about it. AEW will present All In at Wembley Stadium on August 27 before the company returns to Chicago for AEW All Out on September 3. Both events are set to be marquee shows for AEW, and the company has a loaded roster. With that in mind, it's fair to assume that balancing the lineup across both shows is a daunting task.
Speaking in the AEW All In media conference, Steve Fall of Ten Count Media, Co, asked Khan about the challenges of booking both AEW All In and AEW All Out and the difficuluty of the decision that comes with putting talent on one card over the other.
"It’s a very difficult decision, and I have to make that decision. It’s very unpleasant and people want to do whatever they can do to be on Wembley, but there’s a great show coming up the following week in another market that is hugely important to AEW and that’s Chicago at the United Center. There will be a lot of focus on that show, certainly coming out of All In, there will be a lot of focus on All Out. With a big spotlight on All In, it will provide a great opportunity to promote All Out. The live event weekend is really important. We have a massive ticket gross. A massive ticket gross for Wembley Stadium, which is historic, but also one of our best gates at United Center. We have a great crowd coming in for All Out. It’s a great weekend for us to run the event in Chicago. From the live gate alone, that’s a massively profitable event. A lot of it is a bout the real estate that we’ve carved out for ourselves and now we found something special for All In and then come back for Chicago and have a profitable event. I think there will be people clamoring to be on All Out as well, but certainly the big priority now and everyone’s focus is All In, and with good reason because it’s going to be a massive event," Khan said.
