AEW President Tony Khan is excited for AEW’s debut in Canada this October.
During a recent interview with the Toronto Star, Khan commented on All Elite Wrestling’s shows that are booked for October 12th and 13th in Toronto, why it took so long to get AEW to Canada, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On AEW making its Canada debut in October: “It is thrilling. I’ve wanted to bring AEW up to Canada for a long time and a lot of our top wrestlers are Canadian. I think it is a huge step in the growth of All Elite Wrestling.”
On why it took so long to get AEW to Canada: “There were border restrictions [because of COVID] and a number of our Canadian wrestlers haven’t been home for a couple of years. So really, until the past year, it was a challenge to schedule this.”
On Canada requiring athletes to be vaccinated in order to perform there: “I think the same rules apply to everybody. I think, for AEW, it sets up well because most of the roster will be able to travel with no problem.”
On the possibility of some of their injured stars appearing: “You’ll see many of the top stars, including some who are on the injured list. I think there is a good possibility they could be back by then.”
