Tony Khan On AEW In 2023: We'll Gross Far More Than $100 Million

AEW has been on the up and up every year since its birth in 2019, and 2023 looks to be perhaps their most profitable year yet.

During a Q&A with the Hollywood Reporter, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about AEW’s profitability.

"I typically talk about how I reinvest a lot of money. I have reinvested a lot of the money we gross in this business. Last year, we grossed over $100 million. This year, we’ll gross far more than $100 million – we’ll see where it ends up.”

Khan went on to discuss why this year will be so fruitful for the promotion, detailing how the launch of the AEW: Fight Forever video game and the historic All In show from Wembley Stadium have already brought in money. He also noted how having a brand new weekly show in Collision has been financially beneficial too. When talking about funding the company, Khan spoke about reinvesting money made, and how that has been a viable process in keeping AEW going.

He was also asked about the possibility of making AEW a publicly traded company, though that was shut down quickly by Khan as something he has no interest in, at least not right now.
