During a recent interview with PW Torch, AEW President Tony Khan commented on why he chose to debut Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole in the same segment at the AEW All Out pay-per-view event, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On debuting both Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole in the same segment at AEW All Out: “It was my call to do it and I think it was the right move to give fans that paid for All Out that experience. Since it was the biggest pay-per-view audience we’ve ever had, I wanted to give them the best pay-per-view we’ve ever done. That’s generally my philosophy is to do good shows so people will want to watch them. All Out was the most positive feedback we’ve ever had about any show we’ve ever done. It was also the most revenue we’ve ever done of any show we’ve done. I felt it was the right move to load it up and give the fans all these moments. The end of the show, with Danielson and Cole debuting, was my call and I think it was the right move.”
On AEW having no shortage of possible debuts after the latest round of WWE releases: “At the rate they [WWE] are letting big stars go and firing people, I will not have a shortage of people to debut in the months ahead.”
