Tony Khan appeared on Barstool Rasslin to talk about AEW ALL IN: LONDON, the company’s biggest event of the year. The event happens this Sunday and will air live on pay-per-view. Scroll down for the full interview.
Tony Khan on reinstating Jack Perry:
“I was excited to reinstate Jack to AEW after he was gone for a long time. I thought he did very well in his excursion with New Japan. I was there in Chicago the night John Moxley became the first man ever to win the IWGP world title, the WWE title, and the AEW world title. It was a historic night. Also, I thought one of the real standout things on that show several months ago in Chicago when New Japan ran at the Wintrust Arena, was that Jack Perry had a fantastic match and his presentation was just really out of this world. I was really excited to reinstate Jack Perry into AEW several months ago.”
On signing Mariah May:
“I first reached out to Mariah May over a year ago about coming to AEW. I said, ‘I feel like you will become a huge, huge international star here. I really believe in you, and I think there’s a great opportunity here.”
When asked about Britt Baker’s two week suspension, Tony said, “Britt Baker’s been on the show just this week.”
