Folks, let me tell you, Tony Khan is back in full control, and that means one thing—he’s calling the shots, making the plays, and definitely not letting the inmates run the asylum anymore. That’s right, the AEW boss himself confirmed that he’s taking a tighter hold of creative heading into AEW Revolution 2025. And honestly? Probably a good thing, considering AEW booking has been more chaotic than a White House press conference.
Khan’s Big Announcement
During a media call, Khan reflected on 2020, a time when AEW was still fresh, exciting, and not yet accused of turning into a glorified indie show with a billionaire budget. Back then, he took full control, and according to him, it worked really, really damn well. So now? He’s doing it again.
🚨 Key Takeaways from Khan’s Creative Clampdown:
✅ More Tony, Less “Collaboration” – Khan admits he’s “pushing back” on ideas and personally dictating what gets on TV. No more “too much collaboration.” Sorry, locker room democracy—this is a dictatorship now!
✅ “The Continental Classic Saved AEW” – Khan credits the December tournament with reigniting fan interest (or at least getting people to stop doomposting on Twitter/X for five minutes).
✅ Weekly TV Needs to Be as Good as PPVs – Because apparently, only AEW PPVs are elite, while weekly shows have the consistency of a 3AM infomercial lineup.
Why This Is a Big Deal
Now, folks, let’s be real—Khan is the biggest AEW fan in the world. He lives and breathes this company like I live and breathe winning (except in court cases, but that’s another story). But taking full control again? That could be huge… or a total disaster.
🔹 PRO: AEW’s best years happened when Khan had a firm grip on creative, before every wrestler thought they were a booker.
🔹 CON: This man is running AEW, ROH, Fulham FC, and the Jacksonville Jaguars—which is like trying to manage a five-star restaurant, a backyard BBQ, and a food truck at the same time.
Final Thoughts
Tony Khan taking the wheel could mean a creative resurgence for AEW… or it could mean more 10-minute backstage promos, random New Japan cameos, and matches booked purely for Dave Meltzer’s approval. Either way, folks—Revolution 2025 just got a whole lot more interesting.
