Tony Khan Believes There's 'True Competition' Between AEW & WWE

All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan believes there is 'a true competition' between his company and WWE, and is relishing the role of the up-and-coming challenger.

Khan feel wrestling fans have been searching for an alternative to WWE for a while and thinks AEW has the opportunity to carve out a true legacy for themselves.

Speaking on the WFAN’s Moose and Maggie show, Khan said: "It’s intense. It is a competition. There is no way around it. It’s a true competition. I’m really excited about being a challenger brand and taking on a huge company.

"And I think for a long time fans were demanding an alternative, and AEW on TNT has given them that. Normally we do our show on Wednesday nights.. I’m doing a special Friday Night Dynamite this week. And then in a couple weeks we return to our Wednesday timeslot, and we’ll be on Wednesday’s from here on out.

"We’ve really carved out a great fanbase, and Wednesday nights we’ve made a great tradition for ourselves. We had competition on Wednesday nights and we don’t anymore. I think we were very successful head to head against other wrestling on Wednesday nights, we’ve carved out that night for ourselves.

"In the fall we’re also going to be doing a show called Rampage that will also be on Friday nights. And I think, hopefully, with the Friday Night Dynamite we’re this week and the shows we’ve been doing recently, we’re building a nice tradition of AEW on Friday night also."
