Tony Khan will continue to listen to the fans.
Fans online questioned the decision of Tony Khan to put Jon Moxley vs. CM Punk on AEW Dynamite last Wednesday after previously announcing the match for AEW All Out. Moxley made short work of Punk, who re-injured his foot in the match, to become the Undisputed AEW World Champion.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Tony Khan was asked about fan reaction to the match and his decision to air it on TV.
"It's okay. As long as everybody can watch the show and have a good time, however people want to react, it's fine. The fans are always right. If I left them with a lot of questions going into the pay-per-view, for some people, they're not used to that. It's a different way to do it. It was a big success, it brought a huge rating, and I still think we're going to have a big audience for the pay-per-view and hopefully, it will influence it in a very positive way. It's okay for people to have questions and to express their questions in frustration or anger. I think's perfectly normal. It's obviously a different way to get from point A to point C. It's not just going directly through point B in a straight line. I think it's good. There will be a lot of exciting things, including a lot of great wrestling action on Dynamite, and we're going to learn a lot about the pay-per-view. Remember this, the fans are always right. I will always listen to the fans, their opinion is always the most important ones and I hope by the end of the week, the fans understand how much I care about them and pro wrestling and how important AEW is to me and how strong AEW can be going forward for the rest of 2022 and many years in the future," he said.
As of now, Jon Moxley is not scheduled for a match at AEW All Out, though Khan said his status will be addressed on AEW Dynamite.
Fightful will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
