A roster split is not something Khan has locked AEW into.
This weekend, All Elite Wrestling is launching their Collision program on TNT which is going to feature the return of CM Punk. He’ll be tagging with AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) to face Juice Robinson, Jay White and ROH World Television Champion Samoa Joe.
Heading into the debut, Tony Khan joined Brandon Walker’s Barstool Rasslin’ show and commented on the conversation concerning a roster split. He said that is not something he has locked AEW into.
To elaborate on that and (to) answer your great question, I am going to feature certain talent on certain shows but I haven’t drawn any hard lines or locked us into any kind of a split of a roster. I think people are gonna be featured on certain shows but I also think that gives us a great opportunity to showcase certain wrestlers on both Dynamite and Collision at certain times and in certain stories that can cross the shows. I think the champions of AEW will be the champions on every show and frankly, every promotion in the world. We’re not shy about the AEW wrestlers going out and taking on the top stars, top competition from other companies. A great example and probably the best example is AEW/New Japan Pro-Wrestling Forbidden Door…
On June 14th, Khan is joining John Pollock and Brandon Thurston for their interview series at 1 PM EST.
