Tony Khan Declares AEW in 2025 is “Better Than It’s Ever Been”

AEW President Tony Khan has responded to the growing sentiment that the company has regained its momentum in 2025, stating that he believes the promotion is currently better than it has ever been. Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Khan pointed to the company’s growth and consistency as proof of its success.

While agreeing that the Double or Nothing pay-per-view and its aftermath were a high point, Khan argued that the positive trend started much earlier. “I do think this goes back to even January-ish,” he said, citing successful events like Grand Slam Australia in February and Revolution in March.

He credited the addition of AEW Collision on Saturdays and the simulcast of both Dynamite and Collision on the Max streaming service as major factors in the company’s growth. “I actually think it’s better than it’s ever been,” Khan stated. “For many years, when we started up, we had great pay-per-views, and we had two great hours of TV every Wednesday night. And now we’re delivering something very different, twice as much TV every week.”

He explained that this growth and success is why the company no longer uses the “Restore the Feeling” slogan that was prevalent in the past. “That’s why we haven’t used that expression ‘restore the feeling’ in a long time,” he said. “I think it’s been for a long time.”

Khan continued, “We’re doing something new now and giving the fans something new with Wednesday night Dynamite, Saturday night Collision, and all of it being simulcast and available to a wider audience… looking just to the cable audience, the cable audience has grown too against all expectations. So that’s been really great.”

AEW is currently building towards its largest domestic event ever, All In: Texas, which will take place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday, July 12.
