Tony Khan Confirms MJF Dynamite Promo At AEW Full Gear Scrum

Tony Khan Highlights Travel Logistics, Milestone Champions, and Upcoming Continental Classic at Full Gear Media Scrum

Following Saturday’s AEW Full Gear pay-per-view in Phoenix, the post-show media scrum featured Tony Khan alongside newly crowned champions Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron, as well as a brief interruption from Nick Wayne.

Khan addressed several major developments coming out of the event, including MJF’s upcoming appearance on Wednesday’s Dynamite and the last-minute travel scramble required to get the roster to Arizona.

MJF Dynamite Promo, Will Ospreay Medical Update, And Continental Classic Selection

Khan confirmed that MJF will address the AEW audience on this Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite following his surprise return and post-match ambush on Will Ospreay. He noted that Ospreay was being evaluated by medical personnel after the attack, while praising Ospreay’s main event title defense against Kyle Fletcher.

Regarding upcoming programming and tournament plans, Khan shared several updates during the AEW Full Gear media scrum:

Continental Classic Selection Special: Khan and Tony Schiavone will host the lineup reveal during halftime of Monday Night Football on Monday night, noting that post-Full Gear medical evaluations will factor into finalizing the bracket.
Future Tournament Formats: Asked about women’s or tag team editions of the round-robin tournament, Khan stated there is potential for similar formats under different branding, praising the Continental Classic’s point system and strict ban on outside interference.
2027 Pay-Per-View Calendar: When asked about a potential stadium event in mid-April, Khan declined to make any announcements, pointing instead to Worlds End in Minneapolis and Dynasty in Liverpool next year as the only officially announced dates on the upcoming calendar.

Emergency Private Flights And Travel Disruptions In Phoenix

Khan revealed that three private charter planes were arranged to transport the main card roster to Phoenix after Friday’s nationwide flight grounding was lifted. According to Khan, several performers arrived at the venue only hours or minutes before bell time, allowing the main card to proceed as advertised while forcing adjustments to the Tailgate Brawl pre-show.

The travel disruptions affected both in-ring talent and broadcast personnel:

Pre-Show Adjustments: Maya World was the sole advertised competitor unable to reach Phoenix, prompting Khan to credit Hyan and Skye Blue for stepping in on short notice.
Renee Paquette’s Absence: Broadcast host Renee Paquette was also unable to travel due to the flight issues. Khan extended condolences to Paquette and Jon Moxley following the passing of their dog, Blue, stating that nobody could replace her as the scrum host.

Kris Statlander And Harley Cameron Discuss Historic Championship Win

Newly crowned AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron joined Khan to reflect on their victory over The Brawling Birds. Khan highlighted two major statistical milestones achieved through their win: Statlander became the second women’s Triple Crown Champion in AEW history (having previously held the AEW Women’s World and TBS Championships), while Cameron became the first two-time Women’s Tag Team Champion.

Both champions shared insights into their partnership and future goals:

Training And Friendship: Cameron described Statlander as one of the best wrestlers in the world and credited her with helping her train and build confidence in AEW. Statlander added that their genuine friendship allows her to relax and enjoy her work while maintaining a serious approach inside the ring.
Billy Gunn Cameo: The duo joked about Billy Gunn appearing in their entrance video, claiming he had been begging to work with them and was currently on a trial run.
Division Goals: Both women expressed interest in wrestling more frequently as a tandem to elevate the tag team titles, while Khan stated he would like to see a rematch between Wrathlander and The Brawling Birds.

Roster Contracts, Ratings Milestones, And Action Figure Updates

Khan covered a wide range of additional topics concerning roster status, business metrics, and merchandise during the session:

Women’s Division And Roster News: Khan confirmed that Persephone is signed with AEW for “years to come” and will play a prominent role in both AEW and CMLL. He also praised TBS Champion Queen Aminata for competing in this year’s Blood & Guts after an injury kept her out of last year’s match, reiterated that Toni Storm will eventually return while commending Mina Shirakawa’s work, and expressed excitement for Athena facing Hyan in ROH.
Ratings And PPV Buyrates: Khan stated that Blood & Guts drew AEW’s largest 18–49 demographic audience of the HBO Max simulcast era, crediting the women’s division for driving that performance. He also reported that Full Gear saw significant year-over-year pay-per-view growth, continuing a strong 2026 trend.
Creative Praise: Khan credited Austin Creed and Kofi for their heavy creative input in designing the Texas Death Match alongside Swerve Strickland, and praised The Young Bucks alongside Mark Davis and Jake Doyle following their tag title bout.
Merchandise And Toys: Addressing the scarcity of AEW action figures in retail stores, Khan explained that the company is transitioning toy partners with new lines launching before the holidays. He also promised to investigate why merchandise for acts like The Conglomeration and Mercedes Mone was unavailable at the arena.

During the session, Nick Wayne briefly interrupted Khan while livestreaming on his phone, offering the AEW president champagne and asking about the post-show afterparty before exiting without fielding questions.
