It’s fair to say that Khan has learned from the failures of other promotions, including WCW, which was once the leading company in the industry. But among other issues, wrestlers having creative control led to WCW’s downfall. Based on Khan’s comments during the AEW All Out 2021 Media Scrum, it seems like the AEW president is avoiding this same mistake.
Tony Khan discussed several topics, including the nature of his collaborative relationship with CM Punk. Khan stated that while he’s happy to work with CM Punk, if he books something that Punk doesn’t like, they will discuss how to move forward. That doesn’t mean Punk or anyone else has creative control in AEW.
Khan emphasized that, no matter what, he wants what’s best for the wrestlers on his roster, the storylines AEW is telling, and the fans’ overall enjoyment.

AEW All Out 2021 is on September 5, 2021, and it will feature CM Punk’s first match in over seven years. Plus, Christian Cage will challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship. With these exciting matches in mind, during the media call, Tony Khan stated that “All Out is the biggest card” the company has ever presented.
With that said, it’ll be interesting to see how the show pans out this weekend.
