Tony Khan ‘very interested’ in running an additional AEW PPV in 2026
With the report by our Andrew Zarian in April that AEW will add a new pay-per-view in July called Redemption, AEW head Tony Khan talked this week about the possibility of adding a new show.
On Thursday’s pre-Double or Nothing media call, Khan confirmed that he is very interested in running a July PPV in 2026 as it’s “something that could be very lucrative and very additive.”
“I take a lot of pride in the quality of the AEW PPV shows and think we bat a very high average. We deliver great PPV events and I would only explore adding additional AEW PPV events to the calendar if I feel they are going to be additive. I think there are opportunities,” he said, not confirming if Redemption would be the name.
If one is added (and perhaps announced on Sunday), it would bring AEW to ten yearly PPVs for the first time in their history. They started out with three in 2019, four in both 2020 and 2021, five in 2022, eight in 2023, and nine in both 2024 and 2025. With the exception of 2020’s Revolution, they have always skipped both January and February.
