Tony Khan AEW media call notes: Cash Wheeler, attendance audit, EVP roles

AEW head Tony Khan spoke to the media for nearly an hour Tuesday about the difficulties with the All In card, what he knows or doesn't know about the Cash Wheeler legal situation, and the potential for more in the UK.

The full audio from the call is available at the bottom of this post.

As recapped here, Khan said to expect changes to Sunday's card due to reasons that don't have anything to do with the world of pro wrestling. He said some were planned while others are being done on the fly.

Cash Wheeler

When asked about what he knew and when he knew it regarding Cash Wheeler's recent arrest, Khan didn't give a specific date but said that he hasn't known for long. As of now, the FTR vs. Young Bucks Tag Team title match is still happening, but that he is keeping an eye on what he called an "inconclusive situation" and that it was different than other situations they have had to deal with in that they don't have all the facts right now. He is taking it seriously.

No commitment to ticket audit

Khan would not commit to a ticket audit after the show to answer the anticipated controversy about attendance. He retorted with a question as to what WWE would do if asked that question, later saying he is looking forward to announcing an "accurate number."

EVP roles

When asked about roles of Kenny Omega and the Jacksons as executive vice presidents vs. those of Chris Jericho & CM Punk who don't have titles but have influence backstage, Khan said the EVPs have a variety of responsibilities but didn't directly answer the question or discuss the differences.

Khan also didn't answer how many years The Elite members signed for on their new deals, saying the start dates and end dates are different due to factors like injury time.

Here's some other notes:

Khan said the current gate for All In sits at around $10 million and 80,000 tickets.Khan hinted heavily that the company will have a bigger presence in the UK, but that before All In wasn't the right time to make those announcements known.He feels MJF and Adam Cole has been one of the best, if not the best, story they have ever told on TV.Khan said it will be up to Sting on when he wants his career to end, adding "I don't want it to end and I won't be the one to pull the plug on (his career)."Khan said WBD head David Zaslav recently told his father, Shad Khan, upon meeting him that "Your son is f'n killing it!"
