Tony Khan Wants To Run More AEW Live Events In 2023
Tony Khan wants AEW to hit the road more next year
Nov 21, 2022
AEW head honcho Tony Khan is looking to beef up the company's schedule in 2023 by running more live events.
Khan made the comments while being asked what the company could improve on next year during an appearance on Busted Open Radio.
Highlighting the recent appointment of Jeff Jarrett as Director of Business Development, Khan said:
"I think, in 2023, I would love to expand our content, and we have such a great roster. I think I can utilize the people on the roster even more, and there's ways we can do that by expanding the content, doing more shows, and I do think live events is something we could do more of, and we have the potential to do that.
"We have the wrestlers, and we have the interest around the country, and there's markets that we're just now hitting for the first time in years. We have that capacity.
"That's one of the reasons I wanna do more live events and increase our live event revenue, bring it up because that's one of the reasons I brought in somebody who has such great experience there in Jeff Jarrett, who has worked in the office of, I guess at least four promotions, off the top of my head, if not more and wrestled in countless promotions.
"So certainly Jeff's experiences are so valuable in that area. So as we expand live events, I think Jeff, with his experience there, will be a great person to help grow that part of the company, in addition to being a great wrestler".
Since their launch in 2019, AEW have only run one non-televised house show - The House Always Wins on April 9, 2021 (at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida).
