Tony Khan recently addressed bringing AEW Grand Slam to Australia
Tony Khan always does his best in promoting All Elite Wrestling and always claims that it is where the best wrestle. He recently presented Grand Slam from the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Australia. The show was taped today and is set to air tomorrow during the Collision timeslot.
The All Elite CEO did well promoting the show and made some bold claims. In an interview with Fightful, Khan claimed that Grand Slam achieved one of he biggest gates in the history of the promotion. This claim is questionable as the show was moved from a stadium to an arena but Khan seemed confident in his statement, saying that the show was almost as sucessful as All In: London 2023.
"This is one of our biggest international events ever. It's one of our biggest gates in the history of AEW. We're really excited for that. Outside of Wembley Stadium in London, this is going to be, I believe, our biggest international live gate of all time. It's a very exciting event for AEW," Tony Khan said. [H/T: Fightful]
