Tony Khan makes huge donation to charity; expands key partnership ahead of holiday season

'Tis the season for AEW and Tony Khan, who recently strengthened ties with the city of Arlington, TX. The company will hold its biggest annual event, All In, at Globe Life Field in Arlington next year. To celebrate their partnership, the All Elite Chief has donated a staggering amount of toys to a major charity.

All Elite Wrestling has worked closely with the city of Arlington, TX, this year. The promotion's Saturday show, Collision, was hosted for a short stretch at the Esports Stadium throughout July and August. Tony Khan & Co. also recently held a press conference as tickets went on sale for All In: Texas, which will be held in the city next summer.

All Elite Wrestling's action figures are produced by JazWares. The young promotion has teamed up with the manufacturer to distribute 15,000 toys to the Mission Arlington charity, which supports the families and children of the city during the holiday season. Tony Khan took to X/Twitter to make the announcement and sent a Christmas greeting as well:

"Today, with the help of @Jazwares, here in Arlington, TX, @AEW is donating over 15,000 AEW wrestling toys to Mission Arlington to support @CityOfArlington, Texas families this holiday season! Merry Christmas from AEW + @AEWbyJazwares!"

Eric Bischoff slams Tony Khan; labels AEW President a "clown"

Tony Khan has endeared himself to many AEW fans, but he still has plenty of critics. One of his biggest detractors is Eric Bischoff, with whom Khan has been feuding for the last couple of years.

On a recent edition of his 83 Weeks podcast, the former WCW executive slammed All Elite Wrestling and its founder. Despite the company's success and its recent contract renewal with Warner Bros. Discovery, Bischoff remains critical:

"It's a joke, like everything else that comes out of AEW and especially Tony Khan's mouth, you can't take it seriously. I don't know, between he and Dave Meltzer, I don't think we've seen goalposts being moved as frequently and as far as these two clowns continue to try to move goalposts to make AEW look like something other than an abject f*****g failure," Bischoff said.

AEW is rolling into 2025 with a clear vision of expansion. The promotion will hold its first event in Australia in February before returning to the UK for Forbidden Door. Whether the company can make up for the momentum it lost in 2024 remains to be seen.
