AEW President Tony Khan took part in the Worlds End 2024 media call, where he talked about a number of topics, including Rampage coming to an end and how the company will accommodate the one hour of loss in their programming.
Khan said, “I can’t say right now how we’ll accommodate that. It’s a good question to ask. With the company getting significantly more money, many times more money to produce these four hours of TV and focus on that, and then carry that over into the streaming platform, it is a change from doing five hours of TV. But we’ll be much, much, much better off as a company with this deal. As for how we’ll reimagine the roster and how we’ll utilize everybody going forward, it’s a fair question to ask and it’s something we’ll have to look at, but I think there will be great opportunities versus a year and a half ago, when Collision first launched, we had been doing AEW for many years with three hours, with only two primetime hours. Now, this opportunity to have four hours in these time slots is just a great, great chance for AEW. It’s the biggest opportunity we’ve ever had. It will be a change, doing four hours instead of five hours, but again the company is growing, and it’s going to be a great opportunity for AEW, but it is a change. It’s a really exciting opportunity for us. It’s a fair question to ask about how we’ll handle it. I can’t speak to that now, but I appreciate you asking.”
