Tony Khan wants to continue running AEW Collision on the night prior to the Super Bowl in the same city as the big game.
Tony Khan, in addition to being the president and head of creative for AEW, is also part of the NFL Fan Engagement and Major Events Committee.
In 2024, AEW ran its Saturday Collision in Las Vegas on the night before the 2024 Super Bowl. Now, Tony Khan has confirmed that that is a tradition he would like to continue.
In a new interview with Fanatics View, Khan admitted that he would like to see that tradition continue.
"I would really like that. Yeah, I think we've got something really special here. So I do think that's a great thing for us. Year in and year out, we know that the Super Bowl brings in the most vast array of fans and certainly is the biggest event in the world. I'm on the NFL fan engagement and major event committee, so I can tell you with assurance that this is the biggest live event of all time in the history of the world. What's happening out here, Super Bowl in Las Vegas, this is our biggest Super Bowl ever, and what the NFL has been able to do out here, it's amazing. The support from the Las Vegas community has been great. So I thought it would make a lot of sense to bring AEW here for a Saturday show. Yeah, I think doing the Saturday Collision on the night before the Super Bowl [in the same city as the Super Bowl] makes a lot of sense. We'll always be on the road to Revolution. Seems like AEW always heats up on the road to Revolution."
Next year, the Super Bowl will be held in the great wrestling City of New Orleans. In the past, New Orleans has played host to many WrestleManias and was a huge wrestling hotbed in the '80s.
