Tony Khan says 2025 has been AEW’s ‘most consistent run’ of TV and pay-per-views
Tony Khan said that 2025 has been AEW’s most consistent run on television and pay-per-view during a recent interview.
With his company celebrating the sixth anniversary of AEW Dynamite tonight in Hollywood, Florida, Khan told Forbes that their success is only possible because of AEW’s loyal fan base and having the best wrestlers in the world.
Khan said:
“As we head into the six-year anniversary show tonight, AEW is still making great memories, maybe more than ever. This year we had our highest U.S. attendance at All In Texas, which I believe was the greatest show we’ve ever done. That kind of success is only possible because AEW has the best wrestlers in the world, an incredible staff, and the most loyal fans we could ever hope for.”
He also discussed AEW’s television ratings and streaming audience on HBO Max.
“AEW has been delivering great pay-per-views for years, but I think 2025 has been our most consistent run of both TV and pay-per-views. That’s my opinion, but I know a lot of fans share it. We’ve grown the television audience, and that’s a fact, especially with HBO Max coming on board. Some thought that Dynamite on TBS and Collision on TNT might lose viewers to HBO Max, but in 2025 our viewership has actually gone up compared to where we ended last year.”
“If you look at Q4 of 2024, and then all of 2025—first quarter, second quarter, and now as we wrap up the third—we’re ahead of where we finished 2024. It’s been a really great year.”
