Tony Khan is celebrating the holidays this week with a special lineup for his company's weekly shows. At the most recent Collision taping, the AEW President received what might be his favorite gift ever: a DVD of Timecop.
Tony Khan's love of Timecop is well known to AEW fans. Khan often emerges to talk about the movie during the transition from live Dynamite to pre-taped Rampage. While the Friday night show might be going away in 2025, the All Elite Chief's love for the 1994 sci-fi thriller starring Jean-Claude Van Damme is as strong as ever.
During last night's sold-out Collision at the Hammerstein Ballroom, Santa Claus appeared and gifted TK his favorite film on DVD, as seen below:

The AEW President was obviously excited, and he took to X/Twitter to express his happiness with the gift:
"God bless Santa! Timecop on DVD, what a great Christmas gift! #AEWCollision on TNT," Khan wrote.
Tony Khan discusses potential Timecop gimmick match in AEW
AEW has continued innovating its programming this year. Tony Khan & Co. have refined several popular gimmick bouts, such as Anarchy in the Arena and the Casino Gauntlet match. As the promotion seeks new approaches to entertain fans, Khan could incorporate some of his favorite things into the action.
In a recent interview on the Battleground Podcast, the All Elite Chief was asked about a potential Timecop-themed match. Khan seemed enthusiastic about the idea:
"I would love to do that," said Khan. "That's definitely in our future. We've definitely revitalized the popularity of a classic film. Timecop is not just a cult classic, it's also the biggest commercial success of Jean-Claude Van Damme's career. The only $100 million movie Jean-Claude Van Damme ever did, and for good reason. It's an excellent film and it applies sometimes to the world of wrestling when most of the shows are live, but sometimes you tape them, and you're in two places at once."
AEW will begin simulcasting its weekly shows and pay-per-views on MAX next month. With a huge 2025 planned, it remains to be seen what techniques Tony Khan will employ to keep his promotion's content fresh.
