In an interview with Busted Open Radio, AEW President Tony Khan was asked by Tommy Dreamer whether he was in charge of all three AEW shows; Dark, Dynamite and Elevation. Khan confirmed he books all three shows, that he loves it and that it’s good preparation for the third hour of Dynamite that’s to come.
“It’s great,” Khan said. “It’s helped a ton. Elevation has been a great help to me. It’s been good practice, honestly, in terms of getting ready for the third hour on TNT and getting prepared to weave stories and have more big matches and put together a deeper roster. We’re going to need when we’re doing a third hour on TNT, this year.”
Tony Khan discussed the possibility of intermissions on AEW PPVs, noting that he’s willing to consider it if fans like the idea. Khan was on Busted Open Radio on Wednesday promoting tonight’s Dynamite and talked about AEW’s The House Always Wins house show that took place last Friday. While discussing the show, he talked about how having an intermission allowed fans to have a break and he may be willing to do them at PPVs.
“We have great and we could do that,” he said (per Fightful). “Also, a [countdown] clock. If you watch the Road To or the countdown, you might’ve seen them, but that’s even better. They are part of the pay-per-view, putting some up. I think it’s a good idea. If [Busted Open hosts Tommy Dreamer and Dave LaGreca] like it, that makes me feel a little better. Maybe it’s a good idea. If the fans like it, then maybe it’s a good idea.”

As we previously reported, AEW released additional tickets for tonight’s The House Always Wins, their first non-televised live event, after it sold out. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the event is expected to be either the first or second largest AEW crowd since the pandemic. The capacity has been increased to the highest number to date. Some of the seats opened up have never been available before.
It’s believed that the event will have either a similar or slightly more than AEW Revolution, which drew 1,300. The show will not air on TV but it will be taped for the company’s library. Tony Khan has said that he sees this and future house shows like ECW Arena shows. They will be canon in terms of storylines, but fans who don’t attend will have to wait to see them. There is currently no plan for how or when the show will be widely available, but it will happen eventually.
