Tony Khan appeared on “Sports Media with Richard Deitsch” this week to talk about making himself easily available to the media, and shared information about his relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Tony Khan talking about making himself easily available to the media:

“I love wrestling and I love wrestling fans so that part comes naturally to me. I’ve done media in the past working in football in England with Fulham and of course in the NFL with the Jaguars. So for me, it made a lot of sense. It was easier for me to get booked than some of the wrestlers to promote the shows,” Khan said.

Richard asked, “There’s been so much importance placed on how your television viewership is and how you do in the 18 to 49 demo, which is obviously a very important demo when it comes to media buyers buying and your product. It’s not the only thing. I think measuring how you do on Pay-Per-Views, even things like how you do on Google search and how you do on YouTube views. But there’s a bit of an obsession in the industry when it comes to television viewership. How do you consume AEW’s television metrics and what do you personally consider to be the most important metric for viewership when you’re evaluating how your business is doing?”

Tony responded, “We receive ratings reports from Warner Bros. Discovery. For me personally and for AEW as a business, the most important metric is the metric that our network bosses value. In this case, Warner Bros. Discovery puts a high emphasis on the 18 to 49 demographic. Every viewer is very important. The one thing that they focus on at the very top, the top line of the report, is overall 18-49 people and AEW fairs very well. It’s often the number one show on Wednesdays, and we’ve ranked at or near the top on Fridays as well.”

Tony said he will be meeting with Warner Bros. Discovery Executives:

“I’m very excited because we’re at The Forum next week. I’m really just honored, and it’s a great privilege for us because a lot of the top executives from Warner Bros. Discovery are going to be at The Forum,” Khan said.

“We’ve got a sold out show. We got a ton of fans coming. We’ve opened up more seats. It’s one of our biggest crowds at one of the biggest sports markets in the world and some of the greatest wrestling fans. It means a lot to me personally to be in The Forum to begin with.”

“But I can’t tell you what it means that a lot of the top executives from Warner Bros. Discovery are not only coming to the show, but they’re throwing a great event for us afterwards in The Forum. It means so much that they would come to the show, but also a lot of the top executives in the Warner Bros. Discovery family are going to have an event with us with a lot of the people in AEW. We’re going to hang out and that means the world to us and getting to know each other better. They’ve been so supportive and great coming in. It means so much to us to be working with the largest producer of content now, after this great merger, Warner Bros. Discovery, the biggest in the world.”

'They should move to any other night, get away from us' - Chris Jericho slams WWE with a bold statement - 4th September 2020

"They lost! There's nothing wrong with conceiting defeat and moving to a different night." Chris Jericho had a lot more to say.

There are rumors about WWE possibly moving NXT to a different night.

AEW Dynamite and NXT have aired on different days for the past few weeks. As expected, the results have been quite positive for both companies. Both shows have drawn huge numbers without any competition, and there is also talk about NXT possibly moving out from the Wednesday slot. Chris Jericho, who has always been on the offensive when it comes to AEW's ratings victories over WWE, has sent another bold message to the WWE.

During a recent appearance on the Busted Open radio show, the Demo God addressed the rumors of WWE contemplating a change of day for NXT.

Chris Jericho said that he wasn't surprised that the WWE was planning on retreating from the Wednesday Night Wars. The AEW Superstar sent a direct message to his former employers that they should move to another night. Chris Jericho felt that WWE had a great program, and their spiteful tactic of going up against AEW was only hurting NXT's ratings.

Chris Jericho says WWE should just conceit defeat

Chris Jericho declared that AEW isn't going anywhere and that Dynamite would continue to beat NXT. Jericho felt that WWE retreating is the right move from a business standpoint. 'Le Champion' isn't bothered about NXT breaching the 800k or 900k barriers as he and AEW are focussed on getting over the 1 million mark. He also spoke about the importance of the 18-49 demographic.

Chris Jericho said that the WWE lost, and there is nothing wrong for them to conceit defeat. The former AEW World Champion concluded by proclaiming that no one can stop All Elite Wrestling.

Here's Chris Jericho's full statement on the rumors of WWE moving to another night and the ongoing ratings war:

"Once again, it was never a war for me. This is a war that was thrust upon us by a company that is very petty and very spiteful, and we know the reason why NXT was moved to Wednesday nights. To mess with us. We get it. We pay attention to what we are doing. We don't care what they're doing, and we have no interest in it. If you watch us, you get the ratings, where we beat them week after week. We beat them in the demos where people think it's jokes. The only thing that matters is the TV networks and advertisers that listed the 18-49 demo. Look it up. We win every week. They should retreat. They should move to any other night. Get away from us! You guys got a great program, and it's good; why would you want to sacrifice your own ratings just to be spiteful and petty to go head to head with AEW? We're not going anywhere and put on anything you want - we'll continue to beat you. It is a retreat, but it's also the right move from a business standpoint. Get your head out of your rear end and just worry about your product the same way we worry about ours. If they move to Tuesday, smart move. That way, you guys can get your 850 thousand, 900 thousand. Whatever! Get 10 million viewers. Congratulations! Let us do our thing, and we'll get over a million. I think it's a smart move business-wise on theirs. They lost! There's nothing wrong with conceiting defeat, moving to a different night, and worrying about your show and not worrying about going head to head with AEW because you can't stop us." H/t WrestlingInc

While Chris Jericho is just doing his job of putting over AEW, many fans would argue that both shows airing on different nights would be the right decision as they can watch both shows. The ratings and viewership figures from the past few weeks have proven that putting out shows on separate days could be ideal for moving forward.

Also, don't forget to check out the latest interview from Sportskeeda in which our very own Gary Cassidy caught up with Chris Jericho. The legendary star discussed a plethora of topics, including the possibility of Brock Lesnar coming to AEW, the origins of his nickname, Jon Moxley, Orange Cassidy, and much more.
