Tony Khan Had To Make AEW All In Card Changes He Didn’t Plan On
The AEW All In 2023 pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, August 27, 2023, at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The show has drawn over 80,000 fans.
While speaking with the media on a conference call Tuesday afternoon, AEW President Tony Khan noted he had to make changes not anticipated for All In. He said,
“I expect more changes. They are not changes I wanted to make or planned to make. I’m not talking about the World Championship match or even the World Tag Team Title match. There will probably be some other changes to the card necessitated by things happening in the real world. Stuff, in some cases, stuff that is nobody’s fault, but stuff that is not related to the world of professional wrestling. I am going to try to work through this week to make it as strong as possible and hopefully make the card better than it had been. There will be changes to the card. I plan to add something, and I might have to make some changes in the body of the card. They are not changes that will change the quality of the show and I’m glad the big matches are in such a good position right now. After you see some changes, whether it’s the scrum or whenever, I can talk to you more about when and why I decided to do those. It’s not like they were things where even a week or two I knew about or was expecting to have to change. That’s part of pro wrestling.”

AEW World Champion MJF vs. Adam Cole
