AEW President Tony Khan shared his thoughts on the current state of the company during an appearance on the Battleground Podcast. When asked about the perception of AEW as a destination for free agents, Khan was very positive.
“There is a very good perception about AEW in 2025,” Khan said. “The company is doing great shows. This feels like the best year ever in AEW. This whole year has been a huge uptick for AEW on TV. When you factor in the additional fans watching on streaming on the simulcast, it’s just going fantastic for us.”
He continued, saying AEW is a fun place to work and that they are maintaining a high standard for talent. “This is where the best wrestle. AEW has the best wrestlers in the world and we want to keep it that way. It’s a very high bar to reach this roster and we want to maintain the quality.”
