Tony Khan has splashed the cash once again to secure the rights to a Guns N’ Roses classic to promote AEW Full Gear.

Since AEW started, Tony Khan has not shied away from licensing real songs to help the company’s presentation and create classic moments. Orange Cassidy has used both The Pixies’ ‘Where is My Mind’ and Jefferson Starship’s ‘Jane’ for his entrance while The Elite briefly used ‘Carry On My Wayward Son’ by Kansas. Khan delighted fans when he spent big to secure the rights for ‘Final Countdown’ by Europe to add even more to the final days of Bryan Danielson’s in-ring career.
