Speaking with Iridian Fierro for WGN Radio, Khan addressed the negativity surrounding AEW’s historic All In event at Wembley Stadium in 2023. Despite claiming to selling a record-breaking 81,035 tickets, some critics tried to downplay the achievement, questioning the numbers.
>“Sometimes fans have a good perspective, and a lot of times it’s really worth listening to the feedback,” Khan explained. “But sometimes, if it’s disingenuous, there’s nothing you can do. Sometimes it’s fans of a different promotion that don’t really have anything positive to say, no matter what you do, and that’s fine.”>“We sold 81,035 tickets at Wembley Stadium, and there were people trying to tear it down. People were saying, ‘Oh, they only got 73,000,’ as if that’s bad,” he said. “That’s more people than were at the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight, and people were trying to say that, like, it was a bad number for AEW. It’s insane sometimes.”>“You do have to be willing to take it all with a grain of salt because we’ve accomplished a lot with AEW, and we still have so much more to do,” Khan said. “Really, it, in many ways, began here in Chicago. So, it’s very fitting that we keep coming back here to this great city.”>https://youtu.be/lRiiKqnJR-o
