During his interview with Dave Meltzer and Garrett Gonzalez on Wrestling Observer Radio, Tony Khan was asked if there were plans for AEW to run shows in the United Kingdom in the near future. There were plans to do so in 2020 but everything was put on hold because of the pandemic.
Khan said that he can’t announce anything right now but he would like to run shows at Craven Cottage.
Khan said, “I can’t announce exact dates but I will say for the first time I think I’ve ever said it officially. To give you guys a big scoop on it. I want to bring AEW to Craven Cottage, very much so. Craven Cottage is very special to me. We put a lot into the development, the redevelopment of the Riverside Stand and the new Craven Cottage with all of the new amenities and facilities and the beautiful additions I think would be the best home in England possible for AEW.”
For those of you not familiar with Craven Cottage, that is the football stadium located in Fulham, West London and the home of Championship club Fulham.
On running shows on the west coast, Khan said “I think it’s likely that if things stay on track that Double Or Nothing could come back to Vegas next year. If Double Or Nothing comes out to Vegas next year, I’d like to bring AEW out to California while we’re there and try to make that possible. I can’t promise but if things go to plan, hopefully, next year around Double Or Nothing.”
