News & Notes from AEW Worlds End Media Scrum – FTR, the returning Adam Copeland, and president Tony Khan all took questions from the media following Saturday’s AEW Worlds End pay-per-view in Orlando, Florida. Here are the highlights:
Adam Copeland & FTR
- Copeland said he had been cleared for a while, but talked to Tony Khan and decided to stay home in order to deal with the fallout from the hurricane in Asheville, North Carolina. He noted that his family had been brushing their teeth with bottled water for the last three months. He said that he was lucky to work somewhere where things like that could take priority.
- Copeland said their plans are to go for the Tag Team and Trios titles, and also said he’d go after current AEW World Champion Jon Moxley in a match that’s ever been seen before, saying he wanted to have a gritty, grinding match akin to a old NWA World Heavyweight title bout. He said it would happen sooner than later.
- Talking about their friendship, Cash Wheeler said all three are legit best friends and communicate all the time. He had been dealing with family issues of late and the only thing that got him on a plane to be here tonight was to be with Harwood and Copeland.
- Copeland said he enjoyed rehabbing his injury as he likes the challenge of proving he can come back from injuries like a broken leg.
- Dax Harwood said that the plan originally wasn’t for Fight for the Fallen to be in Asheville but Tony Khan came up with the idea to do Dynamite there and donate the money to charity.
Tony Khan
- Someone asked if the Hammerstein Ballroom could be a holiday tradition moving forward. Tony Khan said he was very open to that idea and pushed the success of the shows that took place last week.
- Corey Lieb of this website asked about the negativity online and if AEW had a way to combat it going into 2025. Khan responded by saying there were people who poked holes in the success of last year’s All In despite selling over 80,000 tickets at Wembley Stadium. He said that there were many favorable figures about AEW including how AEW fans are loyal to the product, and he had learned things about the company through their recent media rights deal negotiations that he hadn’t known.
- One person asked about the success of both Worlds End and WWE’s house show in Orlando on the same night. Khan said that was great for the business, as it’s great to have amazing support from the fans and shows how strong the wrestling scene is for the promotions to go head to head.
