During the post-show media scrum for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Tony Khan discussed the evolution and momentum of the AEW women’s division.
“I think the quality of the wrestlers is much better when we started. I think the roster right now is ten times better than when we launched. And I really believe it’s quality of the wrestling. And that’s what I always said; as we build the quality of the roster, build the rivalries, build the great matches. I think the past year we’ve had more great rivalries and matches in AEW women’s wrestling than maybe in the past five years combined, which is pretty incredible. And I’m very proud of them. And it starts at the top with the champions. And it starts at the top with the champions of AEW, the AEW World Champion, ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm. The TBS Champion Mercedes Mone, who is the hardest fighting, hardest working champion in all of wrestling with nine championships all over the world, including several partner promotions. And the ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, who has been incredible, undefeated in Ring of Honor, and has been on a great run in AEW as well.”
