AEW President and CEO Tony Khan recently appeared on Busted Open Radio and talked about how each time Adam Cole is on Rampage the show has had good ratings, most especially when he has a good opponent on the show, just like when they had the big 8-Man Tag Team Match, which was the comeback match of Trent as well and the match Adam Cole had with Orange Cassidy and with Trent Beretta now being back, he’s a big part of it as well.
This is what Tony Khan said:
“There have been some consistent people who have been big draws on the show, and hopefully that will bode well for tonight’s show. We have seen good ratings in the past when Adam Cole is on the show.” “Especially when he’s got a good opponent like he does tonight, with Trent Baretta. He and Orange Cassidy, in particular, have been a big part of this revival and, actually, Adam Cole’s opponent tonight, Trent is a big part of it too.”
“When you look back before the holidays, we posted our biggest number in a long time the week before Christmas and the match that opened the show that did so well was an eight-man tag, and it was Trent’s comeback match. Now, Trent is wrestling again tonight one on one with Adam Cole.”
Tony Khan also talked about The Briscoes, who have been a staple in ROH and who are recognized as one of, if not the greatest tag team in all of pro wrestling and the possibility of them signing with AEW somewhere down the line.
This is what Tony Khan said:
“Well, it’s a great team with a great history in Ring Of Honor. We have a great roster right now.” “I think they’re a great team, and definitely somebody to keep an eye on but no, nothing official on them. We debuted so many great wrestlers recently. You mentioned Mercedes Martinez yourself, and of course, we just saw the arrival of Brody King on Wednesday night.”
“I would be remiss, I think, if we don’t talk about the arrival of Brody King in the House Of Black, and what that represents. There’s a lot of exciting things. Of course, we do have new World Tag Team Champions, Jungle Boy, and Luchasaurus, and there’s a ton of great teams lining up to challenge them. We will have to wait and see I guess but they’re a great team who I have followed for well over 15 years. Who am I kidding? Much longer than that and I think they’re great wrestlers.”
