Tony Khan says AEW is building up from the ground up.
AEW has continued to grow since the company launched in 2019. The promotion took a major step by holding All In at Wembley Stadium in 2023, and AEW will return there for All In 2024. Given the success of All In, fans have wondered whether AEW might hold a stadium show in the United States. Fightful Select reported that the company was considering holding a major event, possibly a stadium show, in Texas in 2025.
During the ROH Death Before Dishonor Media Scrum, Tony Khan was asked about potentially holding a stadium show in the United States.
"It’s speculative to talk about. Certainly, nobody ever thought we would sell over 81,000 tickets at Wembley Stadium. Time after time, whether it was the very first AEW show where we did the fastest sell-out in the history of Las Vegas for pro wrestling, that’s something we had never done. I would say never count out AEW in any aspect of the pro wrestling business. We have amazed people from our very first show until right now. It’s amazing what AEW has done in five years. The leaps and bounds AEW has grown is really an amazing thing we’ve done. As far as AEW, we’ve never tried to do a stadium show in America. I do think you can never count AEW out. We’re building right now from the ground up," Khan said.
During the scrum, Tony Khan said it might help the ROH brand grow if it was called AEW ROH. Check out his comments here.
