Tony Khan Tackles Speculation Around New AEW Stadium Show

Tony Khan has responded to new reports about AEW’s future plans.

On July 15th it was reported that AEW is planning to hold a massive show in Dallas, Texas in 2025. The event would reportedly be on the scale of the company’s biggest event which is All In at Wembley Stadium in front of around 80,000 fans.

For context, the biggest show AEW has ever held in the United States is Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, with a record attendance of just over 20,000.

Although details were thin on the ground, there were suggestions an announcement could come before the end of the year.

Tony Khan Gives Little Away

In a new interview with Liam Crowley for ComicBook, Tony Khan was asked about the report and denied the event would happen in the “immediate future.” However, he didn’t rule out putting on such an event in Texas.

“It’s not something that we would be looking to do anytime here in the immediate future. But it is an exciting idea and something I think that we absolutely could do and something that would be very interesting. I can’t comment on the accuracy of such reports or the immediate future, but we’ve had great shows over the years in Texas.

We’ve never done an AEW pay-per-view in Texas. We’ve done a lot of Ring of Honor pay-per-views there. A lot of AEW’s biggest TV episodes have been in Texas, but the one thing we’ve never brought is an AEW pay-per-view, and Lord knows there’s a lot of demand for it. I think that would be a fascinating thing for us to try.”

During the same interview, Tony Khan recalled the creation of AEW as the company prepares to celebrate the 250th episode of flagship show Dynamite.
