Tony Khan: “I Think We [AEW] Have The Best Women’s Wrestling In The World Right Now”

AEW COO Tony Khan was recently interviewed by WGN Radio to promote the upcoming Forbidden Door pay-per-view this weekend. He discussed several topics, including the AEW Women’s Division, their relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery, and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

Khan on AEW’s women’s division:

“I think right now, across the board, everyone thinks this is by far the best wrestling in the history of AEW in the women’s division, and I think we have the best women’s wrestling in the world right now. There’s more competition and more talent in the AEW women’s division than there’s ever been, and more big matches. I think by far 2024 has been the best year of the AEW women’s division, and I give so much of the credit to ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm, the World Champion, Mercedes Mone, the TBS Champion, and a lot of other great wrestlers like Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale.”

Khan on AEW’s relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery:

“I love working at TBS and TNT so much. We do five hours Wednesday on TBS and Friday and Saturday on TNT. We’re having great talks with Warner Bros. Discovery. I just had great talks with them yesterday. I’m so blessed to work with these great people, and as somebody who loves wrestling, it means a lot to me that we brought wrestling back to TBS and TNT. Know that so many of the listeners who are wrestling fans used to watch wrestling on TBS and TNT, and for some of the really young fans, for a long time, almost 20 years, there was no wrestling on TBS and TNT. It’s what I grew up on. It meant a lot with the launch of AEW that we bring All Elite Wrestling every week, Wednesdays on TBS, and weekends on TNT.”
