Tony Khan makes mind-blogging claim about upcoming AEW pay-per-view

AEW is set to run a historic pay-per-view next year. Tony Khan just made some major claims about the upcoming show.

All In is in some ways AEW's equivalent to WrestleMania. Every year, the show has been done on a massive scale, with London being the home for All In for the past two years. For both occasions, the Jacksonville-based promotion managed to sell over 50,000 tickets. The show is also advertised a year in advance.

All Elite Wrestling has already announced that next year's All In will take place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Tickets for the show have already gone on sale. This is also the first major non-WWE stadium show in America since the '90s.

Given the magnitude of the show, Tony Khan appeared on The Battleground podcast where he spoke about AEW All In. He said that no one since WCW has attempted a show like this. He also claimed that the company has already sold over a million dollars in tickets.

“All In, the big stadium show, the first time anybody in America since the 90s’, has attempted to do a stadium show in America, any other wrestling company, any alternative wrestling company, has tried this. It hasn’t been tried in a long time, I think since WCW ran the Georgia Dome I believe. I think it’s gonna be a great success for us. We already sold over a million dollars in tickets for All In.” [H/T Ringside News]

Tony Khan faces huge accusation after pulling Ricky Starks from upcoming show

Ricky Starks has been absent from AEW TV since March 2024. Hence, he took matters into his own hands and started making appearances for Game Changer Wrestling. He vented his frustrations about sitting at home doing nothing during a recent GCW show.

Starks was even set to face Matt Cardona at Highest in the Room 3 show but was pulled from the event by Tony Khan after Effy made some negative comments about the AEW boss and his father.

During a recent interview on Game Changer Weekly, Effy commented on Tony's decision to pull Starks from their shows. He called the AEW boss cunning for his actions.

"When I’m a reason for you to pull Ricky Starks from shows, therefore EFFY’s words are very important. They’re so cunning, they’re so jarring, and I just don’t understand, with some of the things Tony Khan has personally said about other people, that he would have the thin skin that is required for this to be what sets him off," he said.

It will be interesting to see if Ricky Starks will make his return to AEW TV anytime soon.
