In addition to AEW’s simulcasting success throughout this year, Khan touched on the company’s growth on cable, stating that moving to streaming has not had a negative impact on their TV viewership.

“We grew the business so much with the simulcast, we brought in new audience with Max and streaming but also we’ve been able to grow our cable audience year-over-year … a lot of people thought when you start simulcasting AEW on Wednesday nights and Saturday nights, oh okay well a lot of people they’re still going to watch the show, but people are going to migrate to streaming. Well actually, our cable audience when we started simulcasting went up and we have a great audience on Max streaming every week too.”

Khan then spoke about obtaining the consumer’s confidence in his programming, explaining that AEW has needed to work hard to earn fans’ trust and where they choose to spend their money, but believes they have delivered a compelling product since their inception. He also stated that he’s proud AEW is still part of the conversation in wrestling after six years, which he wasn’t sure was possible in 2019 due to the amount of media competition.
