Tony Khan Says He Will ‘Only Trust His Instincts’ Going Forward In AEW Creative

Tony Khan has a new creative philosophy, and it comes from years of learning what does and does not work.

Speaking with KING 5 ahead of the April 15 Spring Break episode of AEW Dynamite in Everett, Washington, Khan opened up about his current approach to developing the show and where his confidence in the product is coming from.

“From now on, I will only trust my instincts. I will only execute the ideas that I believe in,” Khan said.

Khan also traced the roots of Dynamite back further than most fans might expect, revealing that the concept dates back to his childhood.

“I started writing a show called Dynamite in message boards, and on dial-up Internet and sending it to my friends. I started doing that in 1995 when I was 12 years old, and it was called Saturday Night Dynamite,” Khan said.

Spring Break Dynamite features three championship matches on the April 15 card. Here is the full card:

  • Renee Paquette interviews Chris Jericho
  • TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Kamille
  • TNT Championship: Kevin Knight (c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli
  • AEW World Championship: MJF (c) vs. Darby Allin
