AEW President Tony Khan recently appeared on the My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox podcast to discuss several professional wrestling topics, including the plans for ‘Winter Is Coming,’ the company’s stability as of late, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the company’s stability as of late:
“I was just speaking with the Warner Brothers Discovery executives, who were really excited about last week’s results. Because it’s been a really strong run. We’re on the best run of Dynamite ratings, the best six weeks we’ve had all year have been the last six weeks.
And I think it’s been in large part due to — obviously most of all, the great support from the wrestling fans, but also the wrestlers right now. We have a great crew, we have great champions, great contenders up and down the card, and now great stories coming into place. Because this has been the most stable TV crew we’ve had, I would say the last five six weeks, all year.
There’s been so many different injuries — obviously the hurricane kept a few people out this past week that are prominent names. But that’s a one-week thing. And normally that would be terrible, catastrophic. But really, first of all you got to — the hurricane itself was a priority, and people need to take care of their families and their homes.
But it’s just a one-week blip compared to some of the major injuries and incidents that put people out for longer periods of time. So frankly the last five, six weeks have not only been the best TV ratings of the year for us, the best business period of the year for us.”
On whether there will be a Winter is Coming episode of Dynamite this year:
“I can tell you that there will be Winter is Coming again this year.”
