Summary
As the owner ofAll Elite Wrestling,Tony Khanis a polarizing figure who nonethelesshas transformedsports entertainment.
The Rise (and Fall?)
It’s the sixth one that youve had, which is crazy to say.

And you’re headlining with a pretty big match with Jon Moxley and Cope.
TONY KHAN: Absolutely.
It’s been a great 2025 so far.
AEW
I think the shows have been excellent.
Dynamite every week and Collision every week, we’ve really delivered.
Jon Moxley’s one of the most important wrestlers ever in AEW.

I think that Mox versus Cope is a huge match for Revolution.
AndI believe that this rivalry has gotten so intense, this is just going to be a fantastic fight.
2025 is such an important year for AEW.

Either man and both men represent great champions, and either one would be a great face for AEW.
They’re both two of the greatest stars in pro wrestling.
I’ve been in the arena, and I’ve feltthe heatthat the Death Riders draw.

KHAN: That’s a great question.
We’ve had stars arrive in AEW and make a lot of noise.
We’ve had great free agents.
We’ve had stars that have been a part of our roster for years that have risen to prominence.
It’s a great time for the company and our fans.
KHAN: Ah, it’s a tough question.
COLLIDER: I ask the tough questions here, man.
You really do, it’s good stuff, man.
I think Ricochet has impressed fans all over the world.
But now we’ve seen a different side of Ricochet.
Nobody expected no, let me go back, I won’t say Nobody expected this.
It was unexpected to a lot of fans who had seen Ricochet as a fan favorite.
So I definitely think Ricochet in 2025 and beyond is one of the top wrestlers to watch out for.
[Both] in AEW and in all of professional wrestling.
Where Are the Young Bucks, Darby Allin, and Bryan Danielson?
How can you book a show like that without the Young Bucks?
That’s not the home of the Clippers, my friend.
Crypto is the Lakers.
Sorry, that’s on me for being a shitty journalist.
Not at all, not at all.
But that was what was going on there.
It’s the big Lakers home.
Bryan has been home with his family.
I still stay in touch with him and talk to him about AEW on a regular basis.
He was injured badly.
Has Darby [Allin] climbed Mount Everest yet?
Darby has not climbed.Well, Darby’s not climbed Mount Everest yet.
The Death Riders betrayed Bryan Danielson and have injured so many people along the way, including Darby Allen.
It’s a major accomplishment and I think Darby can do it, but I hope he’s okay.
We haven’t seen him since he was attacked.
Yes,I have asked Tim Robinson about coming in at some point.
I think he’s a great talent.
It was from [Tim Robinsons]The Charactersthing…
He shits his pants all the time.
Thats what I was looking for.
And their star, Fighting Jack Fletcher, would be tremendous to bring in some time.
I think Tim Robinson has played fighting Jack Fletcher.
We’d love to have him, their commentator, Rusty Vickers.
We could take some of the wrestlers from the Tampa Bay Wrestling Association thatTim Robinson has conceived.
Where is Dalton Castle?
I know he got hurt, but I need to see him on Ring of Honor.
He had a bad injury that kept him out of action for a long time.
I’m a big Dalton Castle fan and I expect him back in pro wrestling, hopefully very soon.
