The continued march toward a future with monthly AEW pay-per-views continues with this Sunday’s WrestleDream from the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle—a show that once again has as much intrigue for reasons outside the ring as inside it.
However, that intrigue isn’t for a negative reason. In a recent promo for the event, AEW head Tony Khan said that on Sunday “an era will end and a new era will begin,” which got Wrestling Twitter all abuzz. Khan didn’t do much to clarify his comments during a Tuesday media call, joking (somewhat) that he wanted to sell more PPVs and didn’t want to spill the beans on what he meant.
It’s doubtful it will mean a merger with Khan’s other wrestling company, Ring of Honor, as on the same call, Khan said how much he’s been enjoying the promotion’s TV product as of late. It’s not his purchasing New Japan Pro-Wrestling (as the wild online rumor would have you believe this week) that Khan somewhat denied on the call.
