AEW CEO Tony Khan has been doing the media rounds to promote tonight’s AEW Dynamite. Khan talked about the big angle last week and what’s next for AEW during an interview with Josh Martinez for New York’s Z100.
Adam Copeland has stepped up as one of the leaders of the AEW locker room. Khan talked about what Copeland means to him and the company. Khan said, “Adam Copeland is such a great leader for AEW. He’s a TNT Champion and having the Rated-R Superstar as a locker room leader is such a special thing for us.”
Copeland will defend the TNT Championship in a Cope Open match on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. Khan said that Copeland could wrestle any three of the House of Black and he’s at a disadvantage because he doesn’t know who will be his opponent. Khan also talked about how grateful he is to have Copeland in AEW.
Khan also praised AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland. He said, “I think Swerve is gonna be such a great champion for AEW. A great face and representative for the company. We’re very lucky to have Swerve Strickland as the AEW World Champion. I’m really excited about a lot of things happening in AEW…”
Khan said that tomorrow night on Dynamite, we will find out who Swerve will be wrestling at Double Or Nothing in Las Vegas.
