AEW was founded by Tony Khan and a few others in 2019. Back then, people were confident that the company had the potential to be a North American wrestling juggernaut. All Elite Wrestling is now WWE's biggest competitor. Furthermore, its flagship show, Dynamite, became the longest-running primetime wrestling show on TNT/TBS this week. This record was previously held by WCW Monday Nitro, which ran for 288 episodes from 1995 to 2001.
AEW held Dynamite #289 from the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts, this week. This was a special episode, and it was titled Dynamite: Spring BreakThru. The show was entertaining, as it had multiple amazing matches and captivating segments. After it went off the air, an emotional Tony Khan showed up and addressed fans in the arena. The clip was later shared by a fan on X.
The 42-year-old thanked everyone who attended the event and promised to keep entertaining them for years to come. He was also seen screaming and thumping his chest to celebrate his company's historic achievement.
