Tony Khan: "I Really Want To Do An International Tour In 2022"
Will fans abroad get to see AEW next year?
All Elite Wrestling has yet to hold an event outside North America, let alone the United States. However, President Tony Khan plans to do something about that in 2022, barring any tightening of travel restrictions.
Speaking on a recent Busted Open Radio, Khan spoke of his desire to tour internationally with AEW next year, but is still undecided on how the trip overseas would be set up.
"I do really want to do an international tour next year in 2022," Khan said. "I'm not sure if we'll hit a lot of different cities or if we'll focus the international trip primarily on Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham Football Club. You know [the stadium] is very, very near and dear to my heart. With our relationship or ownership of the Fulham Football Club and our relationship with the fans and having such a great venue to do a show in such a historic venue, and I would really want to put my focus on that if we do go overseas and I don't know when we'll do it, but it's something I'd really like to do."
The Khan family has owned Fulham FC since 2013. Stadium capacity for matches tops out around 19,400.
