All Elite Wrestling President and CEO Tony Khan was recently at a tech conference in downtown Toronto as a guest speaker, where he talked about the promotion possibly holding events in Canada sometime in the near future. The Canadian Press revealed that Tony Khan said he is looking forward to bringing an AEW Live Event in Canada soon as the AEW CEO thinks the company has a chance to really build a strong presence in the country, not only via television with TSN, but also with live events for the fans.
This is what Tony Khan said:
“We’re all back on the road this past year and we’ve been all over America, but I do look forward to bringing an AEW live events to Canada soon.” “I think we have a chance to really build a strong presence, not only what we’ve established on television with TSN, but also with live events for the fans.”
“We have a lot of great Canadian wrestlers and I’m excited about the possibility of our live events here because we’ve had great success on TV here.”
Tony Khan also spoke about how the most important thing in doing live events in Canada is the quality of the arena for the fans and for the wrestlers and the staff, which is then followed by the size for the opportunity to create revenue. Khan also said that Toronto was one of the most logical places for AEW’s first show in Canada due to the city’s size and deep roots in professional wrestling, but he is also considering Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver as other possible cities for AEW’s future live event in Canada.
