Tony Khan promotes AEW ahead of Holiday Bash.
Going into tonight’s ‘Holiday Bash’ edition of AEW Dynamite, AEW President Tony Khan chatted with Scott Fishman of TV Insider.
Khan stated that he does not want to let the ‘cat out of the bag’ so close to the big day, but come the first Dynamite of 2023, AEW will have a new look and that will follow suit for Rampage as well.
I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag necessarily, especially so close to the big day. But at the start of 2023, we’re going to open the year on Wednesday, January 4 with the first Dynamite in Seattle, marking a full year of Dynamite on TBS. We’ll definitely have a new look, to say the least. I’m excited about it. I think it’s a nice thing to present to the fans, but frankly, I’ve found more so than ever, the more you talk about these things, when you build them up, you don’t want to create expectations that are impossible. I will say the set will be beautiful though. The look of Rampage will also be different. This will affect the way people view AEW on Wednesdays and Fridays in terms of presentation with the set and the show with the same great action.
It has since been confirmed that Michael Mansury, former Vice President of Global Television Production for WWE, has joined AEW.
Tony said bringing Mansury in is a huge addition. He’ll be a co-Executive Producer and Senior Production Executive. Khan stated that right now, Mansury is just evaluating things presentation-wise.
Mike just started with us and is a huge acquisition for AEW. He has so much knowledge in TV production. To have him join us as a co-executive producer and senior production executive is really great for us. It’s so important to have someone with his experience. Right now, he is evaluating things in terms of presentation. I’m excited about what he will add to AEW.
Following tonight’s Dynamite, POST Wrestling will be live for a recording of Rewind-A-Dynamite.
