Tony Khan Says Elton John’s Song Is The ‘Perfect Fit’ For AEW Collision

During a recent appearance on “Busted Open Radio,” AEW President Tony Khan shared his thoughts on AEW acquiring the rights to Elton John’s ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’ song for Collision. He said,

“I’m not going to claim it was [cheap], but I will say it was the perfect fit for the show. I really wanted to get it. I love working with pro wrestling music rights. One thing we’ve done in AEW is bring a lot of awesome music into the world of pro wrestling on a weekly basis. You hear some legendary bands and songs every week on Dynamite, and now on AEW Collision, very fitting to have this amazing anthem, Elton John’s ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’ as the official theme song of Collision. It’s a really big deal and I’m very excited about this great opening theme we were able to get and people seem to love the show open. It felt to me it would be the perfect song and I really enjoy working on those kinds of things.”

Khan is no stranger to acquiring iconic songs for his company as he recently purchased the rights for Europe’s ‘Final Countdown’ to be used as Bryan Danielson’s entrance music at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door II.
