Tony Khan Addresses Possibly Switching To Monthly AEW PPVs

Tony Khan has revealed he would be willing to increase All Elite Wrestling's pay-per-view output to once a month but only if the promotion had a streaming deal that enabled them to keep their current five pay-per-views as "top-end events." 

Khan addressed a possible switch to monthly pay-per-views on The Jon Chuckery Show, saying: 

"Well, we've been able to really make the events keep that super special feel, where there is so much anticipation building up to Revolution, Double or Nothing, Forbidden Door now, and of course, All Out and Full Gear," said Khan. "I think that with the current model we have, which is a la carte pay-per-view, true pay-per-view like so many of us grew up with, it makes a lot of sense. The price is about $49.99, and if somebody's going to give us that $49.99, I would like them to feel like they're getting a show they've really looked forward to for a long time and are getting maximum value.

"There are different ways to deliver shows now in the streaming economy, but I think in this current setup, we have a great calendar. If the delivery method changed or streaming enters the conversation for AEW because an AEW streaming platform is something I get asked about every day; I think for us right now, the way we're doing pay-per-view makes sense, but if the right offer came along on streaming to expand the calendar, that's something we have the capacity to do. I would only want to do it if we can make sure that we keep Revolution, Double or Nothing, Forbidden Door, All Out, and Full Gear as premium, top-end events like they are right now."

All Elite Wrestling have held quarterly pay-per-views since the promotion's founding with Double or Nothing in May, All Out in September, Full Gear in November, and Revolution in February. The joint Forbidden Door pay-per-view with New Japan Pro-Wrestling was added to the calendar in 2022, with the first iteration taking place in June. 

AEW also hold a number of special editions of Dynamite and Rampage like Fyter Fest, Winter is Coming, and St. Patrick's Day Slam.
