Tony Khan on TNT: "They could not have rolled out the red carpet any more for us."

AEW founder Tony Khan recently spoke with Wrestling Inc about the upcoming premiere of AEW Rampage, and revealed that TNT is already very excited about the show.

“As a wrestling fan and as a wrestling promoter, this is the best news we can get. TNT is so happy with how Rampage is tracking already. I think they think it’s going to be a huge hit. There’s definitely a lot of interest and we owe the people at TNT. They could not have rolled out the red carpet any more for us. They have so much in terms of promoting the show. There’s been ads all over the place. I watched Seinfeld on TBS last night when I checked into the hotel in Pittsburgh. Every time it went to break, there were Rampage commercials, which is great. So it’s on all kinds of shows, including other wrestling shows. And I really, really am happy that they’re promoting it…

Really, I think with two shows it’s going to provide more opportunities, more upward mobility. But it’s still going to be a star driven show, Rampage, just like Dynamite is a star driven show. And I think what Elevation and Dark have given us the ability to do is develop stars and get them TV ready. Now there’s more TV real estate for everyone to work towards getting in there and fighting for.“
