TalkSPORT host Jamie O’Hara then asked Wight if Tony Khan’s promotion were on course to becoming as big as WWE. The sports entertainment giant has been in business for decades compared to AEW.  

“I think we’re on a steady growth program for what we’re doing right now,” Wight said. “Again, you can’t really compare the two with the legacy and the history and the years that WWE already has invested. But what you can do is look at our brand, our AEW brand, the talent that we’re creating, the product that we’re bringing in. It’s a different product. 

“And the fans make the ultimate choice at the end of the day, but the more chances we get to get outside the US to come to our markets, markets where television is strong [like] in the UK and start expanding from there. I think there’s a good opportunity, and there’s enough fans in the world that I think there’s room for us to become very successful.”
