Tony Khan Comments on “AEW All In Texas Is Going To Be The Greatest Show In AEW History” & Being Open to AEW Holding State-Sponsored Events in Other Countries

A recent episode of The Rich Eisen Show featured AEW CEO Tony Khan as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts about what fans can expect for the upcoming AEW All In Texas event.

“It’s going to be the greatest show in AEW history, I really believe. I can’t wait to go to Arlington, Texas. There is such a great history around Dallas and we’re going to put our stamp on it. It’s our biggest show we’ve ever done in America. I think it’s going to be our best show ever.”

In a separate interview with WFAA, Khan gave his thoughts about him currently being open to the idea of AEW potentially holding state-sponsored events in other countries but depending on the situation.

“Well, it depends on the situation. I think, you know, it’s all about the details. So it would have to be a deal that made sense for that territory, and especially for us here at AEW.”

Update on Jon Moxley & AEW Lawsuit Over Claims of Civil Assault, Battery, & Negligence from 2023 AEW Dynamite Show Incident

As noted before, former contracted AEW production crew member Christopher Dispensa had filed a lawsuit against Jon Moxley and AEW this past May over claims of Moxley had committed civil assault and battery and AEW had committed general negligence against him over an incident at an AEW Dynamite show in 2023.

Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston reported that AEW filed a motion on Thursday requesting Dispensa’s lawsuit to be moved over from a Michigan state court to a federal court instead.

In the filing, AEW argued diversity of citizenship and a claimed lien over $215,000 for the reason for their request.

Thurston reported that AEW’s filing stated that their attorneys will only represent the company in the lawsuit and Moxley’s legal side agreed with their motion to move the case to a federal court.

The filing indicates AEW's attorneys will represent AEW only. Presumably Moxley has separate counsel. The filing notes Moxley's side concurs with moving to federal court.

I just didn’t and I’m like, ‘Well, do I not have this in me anymore?’ I wasn’t at my best at AEW. I don’t feel like I gave Tony (Khan) everything I could…” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)

This past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite 300 show in Ontario, California featured Kenny Omega making a surprise appearance. Omega’s appearance was notable for him wearing a shirt in support of Masa Takanashi. Following the show, Omega gave his thoughts on Twitter about the reason why he wore the shirt being due to Takanashi being very helpful to him during the early days of his wrestling career in Japan. Omega stated “Not many know my beginning days of what started my 11 year journey in Japan. Masa Takanashi was my first roommate in the @ddtpro dormitory in 2008 and soon introduced me to future @AEW athletes, Emi Sakura and Riho. A little later, Hikaru Shida as well.  Whether I was full time in DDT or even @njpw1972, I could always count on Takanashi to help me train at a dojo somewhere. His work to help develop the indies and Joshi scene was never for any selfish reason. He just simply loves to help wherever he can and be involved in the sport of professional wrestling. I can truly say he is one of the greatest and safest professional wrestlers I’ve had a chance to work with over the years and it’s a shame that I can’t directly introduce his work to fans on an international level. But rest assured, his influence is shown in every performance of mine, no matter what promotion I represent. Takanashi now is in a dire struggle after a terrible accident in a match. He isn’t the type to seek attention, money, or gratitude, but I’m personally making a choice now to share why he has and will continue to be so special and important to me and the scene as a whole. Thanks to all who’ve read this.” The same shirt Omega wore is currently available on Pro Wrestling Tees to help raise funds to support Takanashi’s medial costs.
