AEW President Tony Khan recently spoke about various topics during a pre-pay-per-view media conference call for the upcoming AEW Full Gear 2023 show. Khan addressed questions about Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF), the storyline involving Hangman Page, and AEW’s plans for featuring lucha libre stars.
When asked about MJF’s role as an ambassador for AEW, Khan expressed his belief that MJF is truly the face of All Elite Wrestling in many ways. He considers MJF to be a prime example of a homegrown star who has thrived in AEW. This recognition from the company’s president further solidifies MJF’s status within the promotion.
Regarding the storyline where Hangman Page’s home was invaded by Swerve Strickland, leading to the Texas Death Match at AEW Full Gear, Khan was questioned about why he didn’t suspend Swerve Strickland. Khan clarified that it wasn’t his place to suspend him, emphasizing that any legal repercussions should be handled by the authorities. Khan’s main focus is on the storyline playing out in the ring, leaving the legal matters to the appropriate channels.
With AEW running shows in the Los Angeles market, Khan also mentioned the company’s desire to showcase a significant number of lucha libre stars. This highlights AEW’s commitment to diversity and providing a platform for wrestlers from different backgrounds and styles. The inclusion of lucha libre stars adds an exciting dimension to AEW’s already impressive roster.
