Tony Khan: The Fans Are A Major Influence On Me, They’ve Been So Positive About AEW In 2025
Tony Khan welcomes feedback from the fans.
Over the near six year lifespan of the promotion, AEW has received a ton of praise and criticism online. Tony Khan has often responded to both sides of the feedback, sometimes implementing new strategies or booking techniques into the show.
In a new interview with TMZ Sports, Khan was asked about the constant flow of feedback and how he is able to tune it out and focus on the task at hand.
In response, Khan noted that fans do influence the booking in the company, saying that he believes in listening to what they have to say.
“They do influence it, the fans are a huge major influence on me personally and on AEW. I really believe in listening to the fans and the fans have been so positive about AEW in 2025. It feels good when the feedback is so positive and right now, the conversation around AEW is very positive. I think it’s the most positive it’s been in four years and maybe ever. Right now, we’re having great trends. We’ve been able to grow the viewership quarter over quarter multiple quarters in a row. When the fan feedback is really positive, it feels good. I want to keep that going. It feels like people really like what’s happening in AEW this year, the conversation has been really good and I like hearing what the fans have to say, positive or any kind of feedback — especially if it’s constructive or anything you can use to make AEW better, that’s good for us.”
