AEW President Tony Khan spoke to the media following the All Out pay-per-view and declared the event a major success for the company. He highlighted the impressive attendance of over 13,000 fans at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and noted that the show was the first-ever AEW pay-per-view to be offered on the HBO Max streaming platform. The move to a major streaming service is a significant step for the company’s pay-per-view business, and Khan’s initial feedback on the partnership was overwhelmingly positive, suggesting a bright future for the collaboration between AEW and its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.
Khan shared his excitement about the show’s performance and the importance of the company’s relationship with its media partners.
“Over 13,000 people here in the arena tonight, our first ever PPV on HBO Max, we did it. I understand the PPV on HBO Max was a big hit, I don’t have all the numbers from all the carriers yet, but this is gonna be one of our biggest PPVs certainly of this year and we’re all excited about it because it was really important for AEW to deliver a home run. The relationship between AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery is absolutely the lifeblood of AEW.”
When asked if he could see a future where all of AEW’s shows are in one place, similar to the UFC’s model, Khan noted that with the addition of Max, they have achieved that milestone for their domestic audience.
“Well tonight we’ve had a great milestone domestically in the United States we are carrying everything on one media company. Everything is on TBS, TNT, and HBO Max in the U.S., every show we do you can watch that way, as of tonight, that’s the first time that’s the case. It’s the first time we’ve had HBO Max PPV. Based on the reception and feedback I’ve got since the end of the show, just hearing the early preliminary feedback, I think it’s a huge success. AEW is delivering great numbers on PPV, this has been a great year on PPV for AEW, so I think the things we’ve been doing have been working really well.”
