Tony Khan talks potentially running the Hammerstein Ballroom.
AEW has a presence in New York running the UBS Arena and Arthur Ashe Stadium regularly. One of the most famous wrestling venues in New York is the Hammerstein Ballroom, a longtime home of ECW.
Appearing on SportsGrid, Tony Khan was asked if AEW he would be interested in running Hammerstein.
"Yes. I think that's a very interesting idea. I've never been to the Hammerstein Ballroom. I'd love to do it. I've seen great shows there. I think it's a great venue. I've never been. We also have these amazing relationships around New York. For the right event, on the right night, it could make a lot of sense. I'd imagine it would sell out very quickly because it's not the biggest room, but it is a fascinating setup and a cool looking room. It has great acoustics and is a lot of fun from everything I've seen on television. I'd love to check it out in person. It's a great idea. The Hammerstein Ballroom could be a cool venue sometimes. I haven't thought much about it, but it's an awesome idea," said Khan.
AEW will return to New York for Dynamite Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe on September 25.
