All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan was the guest on this week's episode of "AEW Unrestricted" with Aubrey Edwards and Tony Schiavone, and he promised that Fyter Fest - which will air for free in place of AEW: Dynamite for two weeks on TNT - will be well worth checking out if you're a wrestling fan.
"Across these two episodes, every title will be on the line," he confirmed. "So many of the stories in AEW are going to be coming to a head or it’s going to be a huge moment in these stories. It is going to be a lot of awesome things. It is the kind of environment we typically have on PPV quarterly."
He also noted that, "It’s going to be interesting because Chris Jericho is going to be on commentary for this show."
Khan was also asked about how the AEW roster has been depleted as a result of COVID-19. "A lot of the women in this company live in other countries," he said. "People haven’t been available in Japan, obviously and from England. It made it difficult, but at the same time, we were very fortunate that a lot of the top women ranked in the division at the time were here. In Georgia, we had 20 percent of the roster available to us. But, we had enough people available that were going to be in the TNT tournament."
"We were able to do this great tournament and tell some great stories. We were able to do some really good shows and I was proud of some numbers we did on the back end of those shows, especially as we went later in the month on the taped shows. The numbers were going up which proved the stories were compelling."
