During the interview, Khan opened up about some of the company's major signings including Sting and Christian Cage. he said that both legends had wrestled more than expected and had nothing but praise for their backstage attitude:

"Christian and Sting have both wrestled more than they probably thought they would have when they came back. They have both been huge headline stars for us. And I just can't put over their attitude or their mindset enough," said Tony Khan.

Khan also opened up about his relationship with Sting behind the scenes and how they have become close. He also gave props to The Icon for helping AEW's ratings during the pandemic:

"I had no idea Sting would become available. I had no idea that Sting would be so interested in coming to work in AEW and that we'd become so close, so quickly. We built a great relationship and he's come in and been so important to our success and through the pandemic, helped build a lot of interest, get us really hot and in this position," said Tony Khan.

Sting has wrestled in three matches in All Elite Wrestling already. Christian Cage recently beat Kenny Omega to win the IMPACT World Championship on the debut of Rampage. He will now challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship at All Out.
